    Still Showing Up to Practice: Alumni Coach Roundtable

    Something fairly common within our sport is coming up through a rowing program and then returning as a coach. Philadelphia City Rowing is no different, in this respect, in that we have four alumni who coach with the high school teams and several who work with the middle school team as well. This episode features a brief roundtable with the four PCR Alumni who coach the high school teams: Seth, Michaela, Myi, and Kera. They discuss what it is about their high school rowing careers and the program in general that brought them back to coach. Rowing Pieces is the student-led podcast of Philadelphia City Rowing’s media and communication internship. Students are building communication and outreach skills that support success in college and career pathways.
