I'm Kristin
an online coach for high school rowers WHO WANT to get recruited to college.
I’m also an Olympic rower who broke both my high school and college 2k records and spent 15 years racing for the Team USA, including 7 World Championships, 7 World Cups, and the Olympic Games.
Today, I coach rowers across the U.S. and around the world through my training programs and one-on-one online coaching.
After retiring from elite competition, my husband (also an Olympic rower) and I built a top 1% real estate business in the San Francisco Bay Area, selling over $300M in luxury homes before I went full-time into coaching rowers.
what lights me up?
Teaching rowers the proven, world-class methods that unlock real speed: the mindset, pacing, and performance strategies that high school coaches don’t have the time (or experience) to teach.
I wasn't born fast. You know that chubby kid picked last in gym class? That was me. Uncoordinated, unathletic, and unmotivated. When I found rowing and learned the power of the right coaching, everything changed.
At 26, I made the Olympic team. Along the way, I learned how to pace a 2k correctly, stay mentally tough when it hurts, fuel my body, and perform under intense pressure.
Now, I’m passing it all on to you.
I never thought I’d get to the Olympic Games...
I’ve coached hundreds of rowers to pull big PRs, make their team's top boat, get named captain, and earn recruiting calls from the most competitive teams in the country.
My job is simple: help you become your strongest, fastest, most confident self by showing you exactly how to get there.
SINCE 2013...
Take the 2k PR Fast Track and learn the system that creates real speed.
Want a faster 2k?
