Rob Richards:
Shortly after winning a Silver medal for Australia at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Rob retired from High Performance rowing and has since focused on coaching. His coaching roles prior to 2015 in Australia, and since 2015 here in BC, have provided him opportunities to work with rowers of all stages of development ranging in age from Juniors to Masters. Rob had the honour of watching his athlete, Kieanna Stephens, win a Bronze Medal in the W2x at the World Junior Rowing Championships.
Drew Edwards:
Over the last 11 years of coaching Drew has held the roles of lead coach for St Catharines Para Rowing & assistant coach for Junior Boys, and been the Row Ontario Para Coach. His athletes have been named to the CanAmMex Team and received gold medals at several Canadian Secondary School Rowing Association Regattas. Drew is a trained Performance Coach and currently uses his expertise to work with Juniors and Masters alike at the Delta Deas Rowing Club.
