Sheehan Gotsch joins Massachusetts as an assistant coach after three years of coaching experience at Radcliffe and Endicott.
AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts rowing head coach Eric Carcich announced the hiring of Sheehan Gotsch as an assistant coach on Friday afternoon. Gotsch joins the Massachusetts staff after a year at Radcliffe as an assistant coach following two seasons at Endicott College.
Â
"We are so excited and fortunate to have Sheehan join our staff this upcoming year," said Carcich. "Both Coach Chivers and I had the pleasure of working with Sheehan during our time at Cornell and we know she has all the attributes we search for in our candidates. Her experience this past year working at Radcliffe developing their walk on group along with working with their 3V/4V boats will set her up very well in her transition into our system here at UMass. We are so excited and can't wait for the team to meet her."
Â
At Radcliffe, Gotsch was the primary coach for the 3V/4V boats and generated a training plan for the team that developed fitness and technical skills of the rowers. Gotsch also spent two seasons at Endicott College working as a coach for the co-ed rowing team, including a season as the head coach in 2020-21. At Endicott, she implemented practice schedules and created commitment and communication expectations while helping the team grow from 18 to 26 student athletes.
Â
As a collegiate rower at Cornell, Gotsch earned First-Team All-Ivy and First-Team All-Ivy Academic honors in her final season in 2019. She graduated from Cornell in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Policy Administration and Management.
