Junior Athletes Andrew and Chris Shlaepfer set sights on college rowing

Juniors Andrew and Chris Schlaepfer, Participants,

Coach Kaehler’s Training Camp, Pocock Rowing Center

Phil Schlaepfer (53) and his two sons, Andrew (17) and Chris (16) recently participated in Kaehler’s February weekend training camp, at the Pocock Rowing Center in Seattle, Wa.  Phil Schlaepfer rowed in college at the Naval Academy.  He rowed in the varsity crew for 4 years.

Phil comments on his sons’ experience at Kaehler’s camp:

“I am thrilled that my sons Andrew (17) and Chris (16) enjoy rowing.  I would like to give them the opportunity to take their rowing to the level of success they are capable of.

Bob was clearly an elite rower. It was impressive to see him pull on the erg, and know how incredibly strong he is. He is current in his approach to training, and is aware of what’s important to train for peak performance.

He really inspired and motivated Andrew and Chris.  They now train 5 days a week at their high school, and (separately) lift 3 days a week using Bob’s techniques and handouts.

Since completing the camp two months ago, both sons have significantly improved their erg splits, and have since set additional aggressive goals for the summer.

Bob gave them the confidence to move forward in their training and goals which now include college rowing.”
