"Coach G makes it so easy for you to want to work hard for him. He’s knowledgeable and believes in you when you don’t believe in yourself. He will push you too your limits, limits that you didn’t even know you had. He is the most passionate person I have ever met when it comes to rowing. He loves the sport and knows it from top to bottom. He could talk for hours about his past experiences and you can tell when he does tell stories just how much the sport has done for him and that he genuinely knows, cares and wants to be there. He can make practices fun but also knows when it’s time to focus in and block everything else out. "

"Coach G is by far my favorite coach I have ever had. He cares about his athletes and he knows exactly what the boat needs and when. I truly believe the reason the 2V has become successful this year is because we have Coach G. He motiavtes us and he is incredibly knowledable about the sport. He is honest and tells you the truth in a motivating way to want you to be faster. The boat that he coaches is always high in energy and is ready to go because of his style of coaching. I think that he is truly the best coach. I am so luck to have him as my coach and I think he makes a team sucessful and he is a key part of the progress that Kansas has seen this year. I am apperticative of him and I think if you are debating on coming to KU it would be worth t just to be coached by G. Another positive is that he rowed and coxed so he knows what he is talking about! You will always hear him say "ahh I just want to jump in that boat and row" he connects with the athletes on another level that I have ever seen before. "
