Coach Clark is an excellent coach who can turn novices into Olympic caliber rowers. As a rower in his program, you can see why Wisconsin is able to keep up with the top crews despite having no international recruits, no scholarships, and a heavy walk-on presence. Clark focuses on developing racers, and mental toughness is a big part of his philosophy. His communication style is unique and oftentimes hilarious- you might not always get what he says, but you always know exactly what he means. He has developed an excellent culture at Wisconsin, and is a great coach to row for

Coach Clark is one of the most knowledgable coaches of the sport I have met and rowed under. He pushes his athletes through strenuous workouts frequently both on and off the water, which make them the sharpest and most mentally tough rowers in the league. Through hysterical and seemingly random stories that pertain to rowing, Coach Clark helps his rowers understand the need for mental toughness beyond what normal people and other teams are capable of. His rowers are ready for anything.
