Dan says his career highlight was the 2016 season, where he coached the women’s double to gold at the 2016 U23 World Rowing Championships and had five World Medallists from the Reading Start group. He adds: “It was also special seeing Matt Gotrel go on to become Olympic Champion; an athlete I talent spotted and coached while I was an undergrad at Loughborough”.
