Certified Rowing Coach

Rowing Towards Excellence, One Stroke at a Time.

Welcome to my passion, my world of rowing! I'm Jooles, a committed and certified rowing coach committed to helping athletes of all levels unlock their full potential on the water. I've been a professional rowing coach for Welbeck Defence Sixth Form College and volunteer rowing coach/founder member of Devil's Elbow Rowing club since passing my British Rowing Sliding seat qualification Oct 2012. I bring  17 years of experience in coaching and competing in the sport of rowing.

About Me: My journey into the world of rowing began when I was a little girl racing the boys next door in my fixed seat dingy Pippy; this ignited by a deep passion for the sport and a desire to share its transformative power with others. Since then, I've had the privilege of working with rowers of all ages and abilities, from novice beginners learning the basics, juniors and masters rowers.

Coaching Philosophy: As a coach, I prioritise the holistic development of each player in an Athlete centred approach while fostering a strong team culture. I believe in empowering players to take ownership of their improvement and fostering a supportive environment where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth. Respect, and sportsmanship are fundamental, and I continuously seek to learn and adapt my approach to best serve my rowers needs. Ultimately, I aim to create a fulfilling experience that instils a love for the sport and facilitates both individual and collective success. I believe that success on the water is not only measured by medals but also by personal growth, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of rowing and being out on the water, it's got to be fun, right? Whether you're aiming for gold or simply seeking to improve your stroke or erg scores, my goal is to provide you with the knowledge, skills, technique and support you need to achieve your goals.

What Sets Me Apart: What sets me apart as a coach is my unwavering commitment to excellence, both on and off the water. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of respect, integrity, and sportsmanship among my athletes, instilling in them the values of discipline, perseverance, and teamwork that extend far beyond the boathouse.

Let's Row Together: Are you ready to take your rowing to the next level? Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned competitor, I invite you to join me on the water or in the gym and experience the thrill of rowing like never before. Together, we'll push boundaries, break records, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
