Our Coaches
Joseph Baker
Harvard Rower
Joseph Baker is a rower for Harvard University and previously rowed for Saint Andrew’s, Delaware and Montgomery Bell Academy. He started rowing during his sophomore year of high school, but found access to college recruitment due to his ergometer scores. Joseph never raced for a Junior National Team, and thus used a blueprint of maximizing grades, SAT scores, and erg prs to ensure a path to the next level of sport.
Joseph has meticulously studied the recruiting process and has the most up to date knowledge of the current field. He feels passionately about sharing his knowledge in this field in order to help athletes attend their dream schools.
