Jose Arellano Jr. is a coach's coach. His coaching style is a marriage of expertise in the sport and respect for his clients: calm, confident and succinct. He understands the most subtle, nuanced parts of the stroke as well as the universal fundamentals. He has forward, backward, upside-down and inside-out knowledge of training techniques to make you faster and smarter on the water. Significantly, he is an active pro with an ever-competitive mindset. He routinely wins races by large margins over bigger, scarier opponents. And when we do row together he doesn't play coach, hes a training partner - an ambitious target.

Having successfully addressed my own deficiencies makes me a better communicator to my students. As a coach myself, I have to deal with coaching scores of boys 6 days/week and without a doubt there is some "Arellano DNA" in my coaching. For any level of athlete or rower serious about learning or getting rid of old habits, Jose is your man.

Having Jose as my coach, I feel quite fortunate! His teaching approach is amazing, very calm and gives you confidence straight away. After just a few lessons I am now in a single skull. Not only would I highly recommend him for anyone that is a beginner, but also anyone that would want continues training. Thanks Jose!... Nicole Bailey
