This blog will be about my latest escape plan.... leaving my job to become a grad-student and moving from Cambridge,MA USA to Cambridge UK. There will be both blue and gray sky moments as I try to fumble my way through my new surroundings and an ocean out of my comfort zone.

Rowing stuff...

This weekend is Head of Charles...wish I was rowing in it. Good Luck to JM and RG!!!

This entry...for JA and ARAG...who I miss and wish where still rowing with me. Or atleast around to witness me Coaching the men's first boat, ladies and novices!

I have been coaching a lot of different crews…..and I have been told I have a unique way of wording things…..here some Quotes that have been yelling as a coach! (some I have stolen and modified from my great coach John)

“You are rowing like a Question Mark …and I am questioning your rowing.” (bad posture)

“What you are doing there is the opposite of good rowing…..so STOP.”

“Smile people you look like I am holding a gun to your cat.”

…7seats oar’s is stuck on a floating tree…… “HEY seven seat Keep rowing…I didn’t tell you to stop rowing…I don’t care if there is a tree in your way!!!”(ps..this was the Parisian)

“Relax…and enjoy yourself. Look at how beautiful the day is…Hey but …..Don’t look outside of the boat.”

”Hey Cox don’t stop the boat in front of the fishermen cause they get mad and come over to talk to me….and they smell.”

“You are on the wrong side of the River!!!”

To other obnoxious teams…… “Hey what the #$^& are is your crew doing? Why don’t you guys $%$##$ and #$#@#%@# before I #$@#$# and #$@#% you all!!!!!!”

I'm sure you're an awesome and very colorful coach.
