Rowers I've coached, and what happened.
Masters chasing PBs, juniors chasing recruitment, people starting from nothing. Different goals, same thing underneath: the right training, done consistently. Here's how it went for some of them.
The short version
CB (me)
New PB after six years
Six years stuck on the same personal best. Consistent, targeted training finally broke it.
RK
Sub-7:30 goal → 6:28
Wanted to break 7:30 and laughed when I said we'd look at sub-7. Medalled at the British Indoors with a 6:28.
EG
2k: 7:01 → 6:42
Came over from running and chased rowing-machine world records. Set several in the 40+ category.
EH
Sub-7 and off to Princeton
Worked together to get under 7:30 for university recruiting, then kept going to sub-7.
JH
Zero to rowing at 55
Wanted to start safely. Now on the water and erging several times a week. His doctor asked how he's so fit.
In their words, not mine
“I have been a Yamsquad member for 5 years. My prior trainining/sports included long distance running (3 time Boston Marathon participant), CrossFit, cycling and wrestling (among others). I have enjoyed working with Cameron tremendously! My fitness has improved greatly with his coaching and I have learned a lot about training and conditioning for ergjng. I also recently began rowing as a masters athlete and felt very well prepared from a strength and fitness standpoint (the technical side has a lot way to go .. lol).”

Improved 2K from 7:30 to 7:10; improved 10k from 42 mins to 19:14.
“Started just wanting to get fitter, ended up winning British and World Indoor Championships. Never thought I'd learn to row on the water either - the program opened up a whole new world for me.”

British & World Indoor Champion
“Just because you're over 50 doesn't mean the PBs have to stop. Every month I'm still surprising myself with what's possible when you follow a proper plan.”
Mark B.
Consistent PBs at 50+
“What I love most is how available and responsive the coaching is. The program adapts around my life, not the other way around. At 40 with a busy schedule, that flexibility makes all the difference.”

Work-life balance athlete
“I needed to get my 2K down to have any shot at being recruited. Cam helped me drop from 6:49 to 6:25 and was always there with advice on the recruiting process. I'm now headed to row D1.”
Jake S.
D1 Recruit
“I started rowing because I really enjoyed the sport and i had alot of fun. But somewhere along my journey i lost the fun, my confident went down, i felt stuck, i struggled mentally with hard sessions, and physically i suffered with my recovery and weight fluctuations. after 1-month of Training with Cameron i started to feel like my self again, at first it was hard because i had mental blocks, which he helped me get through and ease my way back. although i am not training as much as i used two and with only one session per day i feel amazing, stronger, and my confidence is creeping back. My form has improved and i am more mindful about my HR and respecting each session and the zones i need to be in. Thank you Cameron for the support, guidance, and great program”

feeling great overall
“I really benefitted from the workouts that were programmed for me as it gave me a better structure to not just steady state but also do some hard workouts. I was able to take my 5km from a 19:44 to a 18:58 which was really awesome. I always wanted sub 19 so that was pretty sweet to see. My rate went from a 26 to a 30!!”
