In a joint partnership, CrewLAB will create and support a number of current USRowing National Team rowers (NT Mentors) as they remotely coach and mentor a team through to the USRowing Indoor Rowing Champs. The NT Mentors will get paid, and the time requirement is roughly a minimum of 5 hours a week.
Each NT Mentor will be provided a unique digital space to coach and mentor a team through to the USRowing Indoor Champs. Ideally those teams can be given names and identities that are built around the NT Mentors (examples Kara Kohler Krew, Justin Best Beast Squad, etc.) Roster size should be a minimum of 8 rowers, and could be as big as 50. Ideally we have 6-12 NT Mentors leading separate teams. There is the possibility of putting multiple NT mentors in the same team if preferred.
