Katie Wilson - Head Coach
I began rowing 13 years ago at Dart Totnes Rowing Club, where I gained a lot of
experience with racing, coaching and organising events both as a junior developing to
senior. I’ve just finished my university course training to be a paediatric nurse at the
University of the West of England where I also enjoyed rowing at different levels and
doing a variety of events. In my 3rd year I took on coaching and running the women’s
novice programme, where I was able to experiment with new ideas and different skills to
coaching and developing the women’s squad. Now being part of Bristol Ariel Rowing Club I
look forward to what developments i can achieve, by using the skills i have gained.

Alex Brown - Learn to Row Head Coach
I started rowing in the summer of 2006 by enrolling on a Bristol Ariel Learn to Row course.
Having previously played and coached rugby to a high level I decided I needed a chance
where I could enjoy the team environment and continually challenge myself in an injury-free
way. In my two years I have found rowing to highly rewarding (and frustrating!) and have
been fortunate enough to represent the club in the novice, veteran and senior VIIIs. I have
enjoyed my introduction to rowing so much that when the opportunity arose for me to use my
level 2 coaching skills to introduce other people to world of rowing – I leapt at the chance!
