Elevating your rowing performance not only enhances your results but also increases your chances of securing a college recruiting spot.

“Working with Sholto and Jack at Crew Connection has been the best thing for my daughter and our family. They have provided excellent counseling for both rowing as well as key information and guidance for the complex US University system. They are empathetic, professional and very much know their stuff. They have helped my daughter qualify to the U19 Team GB trials - which she couldn't have achieved without their guidance. They are worth every penny.”

Expert Athletic & Recruiting Mentors

We provide a sounding board for young athletes looking to learn from those who have competed at the highest level. Our time competing on the GB Rowing Team has allowed us to develop expertise and gain a clear understanding of the skills necessary to compete at the highest level.

Whilst at Yale and Cal we witnessed year on year how the recruiting process unfolded. We learnt from the coaches what characteristics they were looking for and how getting the right athletes can build a winning team. When we work with athletes we instill these characteristics into our teachings. 

Through our time in the sport we have developed a vast network across the U.S collegiate environment. We have a clear understanding of how college recruiters think and operate and what they are looking for.
