MC runs sweep rowing clinics throughout the year. These clinics are three and four-day intensive experiences. Rowers row two or three times per day, with video review of the practice between sessions. Each session focuses on a different aspect of the stroke, or how the crew works together. These clinics are hosted by rowing clubs all across the country.
When Mayrene coached at MIT, she encouraged her athletes to learn from as many sources as possible. She thought this not only improved the individual athlete, but the ideas, skills and drills the athlete brought back and shared with the rest of the team were priceless.
Mayrene makes it clear to the participants that what they learn at the clinics is simply another way of looking at the rowing stroke. She reinforces when you go back to your club, you row the way your coach wants you to row, with new information and experience.
At the 2008 USRowing Masters Nationals in Long Beach, CA, Masters Coaching rowers earned 5 Gold medals, 4 Silver medals and 6 Bronze medals. At the 2009 Camden, NJ Masters Nationals, Masters Coaching earned 11 medals, 2 of which were gold.
MastersCoaching has also raced in the FISA Worlds, San Diego Crew Classic, The Henley, Head of the Ohio, the Head of the Welland and Head of the Hooch.

 Here is what some rowers have said about Masters Coaching
"Masters Coaching taught me that becoming a highly competitive rower was not out of my realm of possibilities. I was instructed thoughtfully; I was encouraged to ask questions; and I had so much fun that I was sad to see it all come to an end. If this were a yearly thing, I would look forward to it the same way I look forward to my favorite holidays." - Teina Lucas, Los Gatos Rowing Club
Mayrene has an uncanny knack for seeing the details of each rower's technique that need to change. She is able to find the right words of explanation that make sense to each individual. I learn something completely new at each camp I attend, and deepen my understanding of past "breakthroughs". The changes develop improvements that grow over the next months to the point where I marvel at how far I have come by the next year ( having thought I was doing all right previously!). Besides the rowing, these camps are a blast. It is really fun to get to know other intent rowers from around the country and share a boat.—Cathy Holdorf, Corvallis OR
“My rowing experience with MastersCoaching has always been exceptional. Mayrene Earle is the finest teacher of the sport while being an inspiration to my soul! She is the greatest which makes rowing fun, fun fun! “ Allison Geist, Englewood, FL
"WOW! I would not have thought it possible to make a quantum leap in my rowing technique in such a short period of time. WOW!" - Ron Libby, Rio Salado Rowing Club, AZ
“Mayrene Earle is the most accepting, encouraging and positive coach I have ever had the privilege of being around. (I was a physical education major and teacher, so I’ve seen quite a few.) She coaches each person individually, seeing minute little things to improve that give big results. The drills worked on each part of the stroke until we put it all together and it resulted in a long, easy stroke that worked beautifully and really moved the boat. We came together as a crew! . . . I will attend Mayrene Earle’s clinics whenever I can.” - Carolyn Pope, Lemon Bay Crew, Sarasota, FL
"The MastersCoaching camp brought our eight to a whole new level of rowing. The drills and areas of personal improvement will continue to benefit us and our club." - Sue Cagney EARC, NY
“My coach said she could not believe how much I improved [at camp]. The camp by far has been the best thing I have ever experienced! It was so nice to be around people who had so much positive energy and zest for life. I can't even put into words how much I learned. . . . I felt like I was ready for the Olympics!” - Megan S., Minn.
“I feel remiss in not thanking you sooner for what I have been going around telling folks was absolutely a PEAK lifetime experience. You truly earned my trust. . . . And everything I learned (which was much) was truly secondary to the fact that I had a blast. You and your staff are amazing -- sort of like the perfect blend of expert technical coaching with a fun and loving psychotherapist at the helm.” - Donna T., Mass.
"I've rowed for a number of years under various coaches whom I considered to be very good. These few days at camp really answered lingering questions about how to accomplish what I wanted as far as technique is concerned. " - Barbara Smith, Martha's Moms, WA
"If you ever want to kickstart or just liven up your rowing routine, attend a Masters Coaching camp. I had so much fun being back in an eight with a great group of women I would never have met otherwise. Everything about this camp makes me want to attend next year." - Nikki Moritz, Melbourne,FL
"Mayrene is a true "rower-whisperer!" - Maureen Cleary, Minneapolis RC
"I highly recommend Mayrene Earle's MastersCoaching camps. Every camp I attend brings my rowing to another level. Its not just the improvements that I 'know' I should make…it's the subtle things that I 'don't know' about until Mayrene coaches me that make a huge difference in my stroke. Mayrene's coaching style is positive and supportive, yet she does not hesitate to push me out of my comfort zone; I like that. Mayrene and Cox extraordinaire, Julie Gesch, are truly a master rower's 'coaching dream team'. If this sounds hard and serious – its not; both on and off the water we have great fun and loads of laughs together. I have so many great stories and wonderful memories about my camp experiences: the learning, the gorgeous venues, and most of all the wonderful people and enduring friendships." - Mary Wynne-Wynter, Cambridge BC
“We did our 4 x 2k's in shifts today, and some of the guys (fairly big rowing kahunas) were watching and pointing at me . . . while I was doing mine. After our workout they told me I had the best shoulder movement, opening at the catch, and upper body-arm-hand timing, and [they said], ‘Who the hell taught you that?’ So I told them . . . about the Great and Awesome coach Mayrene Earle, who can fix your stroke in 3 OTW sessions!” - Mary Wynne-Wynter, Cambridge, Mass.
