What our rowers are saying...
"Learning something complex like rowing at mid-life is a major challenge. There are physical and mental limitations many of us never wrestled with back in the day. Lauren and Mo, both far younger than most of the masters crowd, have proven themselves to be mid-life whisperers. They are as impressive in their ability to teach technique as they are mindset. Both coaches expertly walk the line between support and challenge. They push, inspire, and teach in the spirit of growth and delight! Thanks to them my first year of rowing has proven to be the most rewarding athletic experience of my life." --Caroline R.S.
Get to Know Us
We are Maureen McAuliffe and Lauren Schall, a dynamic duo of experienced former elite rowers and coaching professionals who have found our passion in adult coaching. We first met as athletes in the nationally recognized ARION elite rowing program in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Maureen went on to represent the United States on multiple national teams, competing in World Championships and at the Royal Henley, among other prestigious regattas.
Lauren expanded her coaching career with NCAA Division 1 experience and by leading several nationally competitive high school programs.
Having coached athletes across a wide range of levels—from middle school to elite rowers—we reunited in 2023 to coach the Saratoga Rowing Masters. In just one year, we doubled program membership and engagement, increased diversity within the program, and improved average fitness scores by over 4 splits in a 20-minute fitness assessment.
