October 05, 2018 | Men's Rowing
CORVALLIS – Chris Greene has been named men's rowing assistant coach at Oregon State University as announced on Friday.
"Chris has a wealth of knowledge that is going to accelerate our program to the next level," said head coach Gabe Winkler. "I am so excited for the future of our team. Chris knows how to win at the biggest races. Having him in Corvallis with Beaver Nation is a great thing."
Greene joins the Beavers following successful stints with the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) and Yale University where he served as assistant coach.
Greene worked alongside fellow coaching staff at NYAC in developing pre-elite athletes invited to train in top level competition. They enjoyed success during the summer of 2018 winning the 2018 Independence Day Regatta Men's Team Trophy and the 2018 USRowing Club National Championship Intermediate 8+ and Intermediate 4+.
At Yale University, Greene helped influence technique, race strategy, motivation, team camaraderie and training plan write ups. During his time the team rowed to multiple victories including the 2018 IRA Varsity 8+ national championship.
Greene has also spent time with the Greenwich Crew in Connecticut as an assistant coach for varsity and novice women. He contributed to the efficient running of water and land practices as well as creating training and strength plans.
As director and head coach for Manhasset Crew, Greene assumed many roles in the success of the program. He worked closely with boosters to organize fundraisers, managed and maintained equipment, and oversaw and mentored seven coaches on the staff that included five primary teams. Greene led the Women's Varsity 8+ and Lightweight 8+ to top-six finishes at Stotesbury and SRAA during his time with Manhasset.
During 2015-16, Greene served as the head coach for RowAmerica Hamilton. He was in charge of recruitment, scheduling, equipment maintenance and fundraising. During his time he coached the adult intro, adult racing, youth novice men, youth novice women, youth varsity men and women leading the team to 10 medals in the first fall season, with half of those being gold.
He began his coaching career with the Cincinnati Junior Rowing Club as the head coach for novice men in 2010. Greene taught first year high school rowers the essentials of the sport, including technique, leadership qualities and team building. The team won the 2011 USRowing Midwest Youth Championship in the first and second eight events.
As a member of the Brown University Crew, Greene helped keep the team in the top-five nationally all four years as they contended for a national title each year in the varsity eight. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Brown, and holds a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Pacific University.
