Rebecca has been leading the program for 10+ years, and her effect on the program clearly shows in declining race results over the years. While labeled the head coach on paper, there is a history of an assistant or secondary coach who takes on more of the role of 'head coach' to run the team's training and general expectations. The program changes drastically each year based on the constant rotation of assistant coaches. If you are not in the top boat, do not count on her honesty and belief in you as an athlete. It is well known on the team that the majority of athletes are not respected or treated well. You will hear words and have promises made in one-on-one meetings, but the actions taken will be different. Temple itself provides great resources and an amazing experience as a student-athlete in general . However, if you are being recruited to a rowing team under Rebecca's lead I would advise taking caution in making that decision.
