    “Jack and Sholto are champion rowers who approach the sport with the strategic mindset of Roman generals. They embody a soft-spoken, genuine kindness and a passion for rowing and carefully craft a personalized training plan for each athlete to excel in their specific event. Our son followed their training program and diet over the summer and reduced his 2K time from 6.54 to 6.39 in 2 months. Jack and Sholto are excellent motivators and inspiring role models for young athletes, offering fantastic feedback and advice.”
