About us
At Sparks, we live to develop the rowing community.
Sparks Consulting guides rowing athletes and their families through the arduous task of finding the right college culture and rowing program to meet their academic and athletic needs -- our ultimate goal is character development. We work in the background, identifying our students’ character first then helping their families by providing a knowledge base and support system for their values during the college selection and recruiting process. College counseling with us allows families to work with folks who share their passion and also have a vested interest in creating the right fit between athletes and programs so the experience is rewarding for everyone involved.Beyond counseling, we hold summer rowing camps held at Wesleyan University and in Seattle offer the attention of a staff of top career coaches, a strength and physiology specific program in Philadelphia, and a specific coxswain development camp. We also hold winter rowing camps for sweep rowers, scullers, and coxswains-- and a longer rowing development camp in New Zealand. Finally, our Olympic and World Champion coxswains have created the only coxswain curriculum in the world to provide individualized coxswain coaching for our mentoring programs and at our coxswains only camps.
