Scott Walsh

Head Coach

Scott has 30 years of rowing experience, along with more than a decade of coaching experience. As a rower at Yale University, Potomac Boat Club, and San Diego Rowing Club, Scott has raced at U.S. Nationals, U.S. Olympic Trials, the Head of the Charles, and the Henley Royal Regatta. Scott coached novice men’s crew at George Mason University and middle school rowing for SDRC. He has learned from some of the best coaches in the country, including SDSU alum Glenn Schweighardt and SDRC’s Pat Kington. He is very excited to work with SDSU’s rowers, coaches and alumni to develop the size, strength and speed of SDSU’s rowing program. Scott invites any Aztec alumni to join the team for workouts on the ergs, in the weight room, or on the water, and looks forward to seeing SDSU alumni at the spring races.
