"Dan Schenk was a really popular coach during his short time at SMU. His positivity and leadership helped lift spirits during a period of turmoil. It’s a shame SMU can’t retain their top rowing coaches. To the author of the hit piece below: Team sport probably isn’t your thing. No crew wants to carry a dead weight of bitterness and spite."

"Dan is always positive and able to provide clear, constructive feedback. He creates a culture of openness and trust within the team. He pushes athletes to achieve their full potential but makes training enjoyable. "

"Fantastic person, mentor and coach. Grounded, caring, and a kind soul."
