Meet Our Coaches
Meet Our Coaches
HRCR depends on a small group of talented coaches to support HRCR’s programming. Meet some of our current coaches below! Interested coaches are encouraged to visit our Coaching Opportunities page or contact HRCR Board member Pieter Lindenbergh at pieter.lindenbergh@harlemrivercr.org.
ZULIA MARTINEZ
I started rowing in middle school and have been involved in the sport ever since. I joined HRCR in 2023 and began coaching for our Learn To Row and Skills Building Program in 2024. I'm passionate about sharing my love of rowing and helping others make it a lifelong sport!
JANE BOLGATZ
I joined HRCR in 2022, returning to the Harlem River, where I rowed and coxed in college and after. Besides coaching skills building and advanced rowing, I am training my black lab pup, Bear, to be a good launch dog.
JAMES MARSDEN
I rowed in high school and college in the UK and started coaching my old college team in Oxford in 2009. I coached in the UK for 14 years including winning the Oxford Head of the River trophy in 2021. I love HRCR's inclusive ethos, the great range of experience in the club, and especially that the dock is 150 yards from my front door!
SOPHIE CHALSMA
I started coaching in 2014 for my high school team's Learn to Row program, and I started coaching with HRCR in 2022, coaching both Learn to Row and weekend recreational sessions. I love meeting everyone who is interested in learning to row and getting to see them find love for a sport that I love so much!
