Novice Coach
Eleanor Stevens
Ellie started at USBC as a novice athlete in 2014, she became president of the club for the 2017/18 season and led with example. This was recognised by Team Surrey as she was awarded the Team Surrey Trophy for outstanding commitment and performance at Colours Ball 2018, awarded British Rowing Rising Star of the Year in 2021 and Team Surrey Coach of the Year 2024. She ended her time as a USBC athlete by representing England at the Home Internationals Regatta. After graduating in 2018, Ellie became the novice coach. Her first season was highly successful. By summer 2019, she had athletes who’d won four BUCS gold medals, a beginner HoRR pennant and a win at Marlow. Ellie has since consistently coached beginner crews to medals at BUCS Head and Regatta every year. She is now the current Head of Performance Pathways at Molesey Boat Club, and the Assistant Manager of England Rowing alongside her position at Surrey.
