"The positive reviews on this coach are clearly written by himself. The culture and direction of our program is better than it has ever been. The athletes were told Dan “left the program abruptly” and received no further details. Our HC, Chase Graham, has a proven track record of success and has continued to grow our team back into a perennial powerhouse. WE as athletes WILL NOT let a poor coach define us. ATHLETES BEWARE! "

Direct Honest Motivational Creates A Great Team Culture Dedicated To Players

"It was a shame Dan was only at SMU for a short period of time. I believe that he helped uplift the team, especially during challenging times with changes all around. Dan was someone that I could trust, someone that provided meaningful feedback, and someone who helped drive a team culture to somewhere special. Unfortunately, once Dan left the program this culture began to plummet, suggesting he made a drastic change for the betterment of the program and athletes around him. Before races, Dan would always be there to provide motivation, excitement, and dull down nerves. He had an exceptional read on the sport, as well as what it means for a team to be connected in order to do well. "

"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."

"Can't ever get a read on him. One day he's hot, one day he's cold. Spent time with our program then up and left kind of out of nowhere. Never truly put his full effort in and seemed to care less about athlete's beyond their physical success. Cursed a lot and didn't give coaching when rowers made obvious mistakes. "

Poor Communication

"Terrible. Literal nightmare. Mentally Abusive. Does not care about his players college education or mental wellbeing. Creates wedges between players and loves to gossip about them. Multiple people leave per year due to his coaching ways and environment he facilitates. If you want a successful college career with teammates and staff who care about you, go any place else."

She's intense and expects a lot, but she usually knows what she's doing and has big plans for the team. The girls like her and her training program. Her assistant coaches are competent and useful, but don't like advice much at all."
