Poor Communication
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.

Mark is a great coach on the erg, and decent with technical concepts. He focuses too much on top rowers on the team, crwating separation between his 'favorites' and then people on the team who feel unimportant. I'm not saying he doesn't care about rowers but just sometimes shows a lot of unequal attention when we need bottom rowers to be fast too

Cultivated a negative team culture that still exists with little concern about athletes' performance in the classroom

Coach Mark Rothstein cares a lot about rowing, as well as his athletes. He trains them very hard on the erg. He sets high expectations that are meant to be reached, as well as eventually surpassed. His weakness lies in his perspective: he sees rowing from a physics standpoint, and lacks understanding of the technical aspects of the sport. He is a good coach, some might even say great, but he will never create an excellent team despite having amazing athletes.
