Bad team culture, very strict, doesn’t care about each individual person and will do what it takes for the success of the team even if it means doing something that negatively affects them

Dave is a little crazy and sometimes a lot to handle but he knows how to make boats fast. He'll push you to your limits. You'll need tough skin and sometimes he'll make you crazy but you want to be fast, right? Some things are not ideal, but he is a great coach.

Dave is innovative and effective, always looking to push the limits of what you thought was possible. He demands consistency and improvement, and doesn't accept excuses. It's hard as hell but he'll change your definition of 100%. Rowing under Dave is often a huge adjustment and it's not for everyone. He's tough but it always pays off.
