“What is it that fuels each and every one of us in this sport? For me, it is continuing to explore what can be achieved through rowing. Since I started coaching full-time in 1998, I have found a sense of fulfillment in my own life. I enjoy sharing my passion for rowing, what inspires me on and off the water, and how that can impact our lives. With each passing day, Rocket Science Rowing will bring you more success.”
— Linda Muri, 3-time World Champion

“Linda has one of the sharpest eyes for detail of anyone who has coached me. Something I have found immensely helpful and refreshing: she doesn’t waste time in unnecessary nuance. One could spend a lifetime interpreting the rowing stroke but Linda seems to just know with great confidence what to do. And her coaching immediately sparks change that can squeeze out a few splits in one practice alone.”
