Dave Grossman is the rowing director and boys head coach at Saugatuck Rowing Club.
His rowing career began there in 2005. He quickly began coaching too. Dave was a 4-year member of the Hobart College team. He competed at the Head of the Charles Regatta, national championships and Henley Royal Regatta.
The other day, Dave came ashore to the Westport Library. We looked back, in this 25th anniversary year for Saugatuck Rowing Club’s modern facility, at its growth and evolution (and the role the Winklevoss family has played). We talked about the sport of crew: who it attracts, what it takes to compete, and the impact it has on rowers of all ages.
We talked too about Dave’s life, on and off the water. Click here or below, for a fascinating half hour.
Bravo on this podcast, Dan… not only do you get to the motivations of Dave Grossman, an excellent coach, and his fine coaching staff for both students and adults, but you draw out a clear, in depth portrait of the exemplary mission of Saugatuck Rowing Club that all recreation and competitive athletic programs should emulate.
Howard Winklevoss hard work on the 25 year old SRC is something Westporters should treasure… as many do.
