I am stronger than I thought I was - both mentally and physically.

If you want something, you have to earn it. No one is going to hand it to you.

I am tough.

I have mental setbacks, but I don't have to feed them.

The past is the past, you can't change what happened. You can only do it differently in the future.

I wouldn't be where I am without Coach Holly.

“Sport participation and effective sport performance are both intellectual and physical pursuits, and at the end of the day, fundamentally driven by courage and character. RSR is a character development program disguised as athletic skills enhancement and does both with a high degree of professional competence. In my experience, the mental and behavioral skills taught and coached at RSR are critical and what all young athletes need for effectiveness in sport, and life. They are essential requirements for high performance in athletics, academics, and work. They are foundational for effective living and leading in all walks of life. RSR educates and trains the daily practices and principles enabling young people to be successful athletes, but more importantly to live lives of courage, character and integrity. Frankly, this matters most, and is RSR’s “sweet spot.” ”

What Athletes & Parents are saying

Ready Set Row

“Your program worked at giving our daughter the self tools to boost both her mental and physical abilities and to really go after what goals she has set. Breaking her 2k was a HUGE confidence booster and since she arrived home she PR'd on her 5k. She has come home with such a desire to be faster & stronger. She's walking a little taller and with more confidence! Thank you all for such a tremendous experience.”

“Coach Holly - we feel so lucky that our daughter had the opportunity to come to your camp. It seemed like the perfect program and it was more that that - she came away being a more brave and confident person, a better rower, and having new friends she hopes to have for a lifetime. The program was more than we expected, and our daughter benefited from it in so many different ways. The huge PR on her 2K was a nice bonus as well!”

“Coach Holly's RSR program did more for our daughter in 4 weeks than we ever thought possible. Not only is she a more confident and stronger rower, she came home a more resilient and balanced individual ready to take on anything. This is a great program for a rising senior.”

TESTIMONIALS

What ATHLETES & PARENTS ARE SAYING

This camp helped me develop as a coxswain in ways I didn't even know I could develop. I feel like you took the time to consider my abilities and didn't just look over me. You believed in me which is what I have lacked in the past.

Athlete
It was intense and difficult, but I loved it. I learned a lot about myself and grew more as a person and a rower. I'm so glad I came to this camp! Thank you for pushing me!

Athlete
Thank you so much for a challenging, crazy difficult, fun, and rewarding camp.

Athlete
The workouts trained strength and technique in a different way than before. The writings make my thoughts permanent and visible.

Athlete
The camp, coaching and work helped us all to grow closer and really search for what we see value in and apply it to a sport.

Athlete
The coaching was also a different style than what I've experienced which was compatible with my competitiveness and desires. The coaching pushed me physically and mentally to be more & do more.
