Athletes not developed beyond the team. Practices always scheduled to conflict with all other possible benefits of being part of a big athletic department (career services, networking, etc) Mark coaches the same 8 athletes all year, period. Seems charming but in fact is antisocial. Cares almost exclusively about erg scores.

Claims to want to develop team beyond rowing, but doesn't do anything to help that and barely leaves any extra time for professional development outside of practice and class time. Fosters a toxic erg culture.

Mark Rothstein cares about Michigan Rowing more than anything (other than his family). He is very open to feedback. That doesn't mean he will necessarily change but he will hear you out.

Mark is a very good coach. He doesn’t take himself too seriously which is great because his primary focus is on the team, which he takes very seriously. Mark is also very honest about the potential he sees in people and knows a lot about the sport. Although he might come off as silly at first, he really does know what he’s talking about and sincerely wants what’s best for the team.
