I had aspirations of elite racing and I decided Travis was the coach best equipped to get me there while keeping my day job. Fast forward a year later, Travis coaches me to USRowing Club Nationals gold. Over the years Travis engrained a handful of key concepts he was quick to recognize were missing from my training. I remain eternally grateful for Travis’ guidance over the years as coach and friend.

To put it quite simply - there is no better coach than Travis Gardner. His passion for rowing is unmatched, but his most valuable gift is the ability to teach athletes how to think for themselves. His program was a true meritocracy, and under his leadership, I found the most successful version of myself. Travis went above and beyond to provide rowers with the best equipment, technology, and coaching. He led me to the national podium and a Division 1 collegiate rowing career. Both on and off the water, Travis has been one of the most influential people in my life. It was a privilege to row for him.

I was a varsity athlete at college and to this day Travis was the best sports coach I've ever had in my life. I think a lot of people have a lot to learn from him, especially about healthy ways to coach and respectfully work with young women.

I attribute all the success I had rowing back to you, Travis. Regardless of the path I took, it all started with the foundation you gave me and the time you invested in me.

Travis is an expert in all aspects of rowing and athletics. His valuable coaching insights led me to achieve my goal of rowing for a Division 1 Program. In addition to receiving an elite training plan, Travis has taught me countless lessons regarding the importance of work ethic and passion for the sport itself. I cannot thank Travis enough for his expertise, passion, and dedication to his athletes.

Travis communicates in a direct, actionable way that resonates with his athletes and empowers them to take charge of their progress. The leadership, communication, and decision-making skills I developed as a coxswain in Travis’ crew have stayed with me into my professional career.
