Sheehan Gotsch joined the University of Massachusetts rowing staff as an assistant coach in July of 2022 following three years of coaching at Radcliffe and Endicott College.

“We are so excited and fortunate to have Sheehan join our staff this upcoming year,” said head coach Eric 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.”

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.

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.
