Steady State Network is a couple of rowing nerds named Rachel Freedman and Tara Morgan, who between us have nearly 40 years of rowing, coaching, and coxing experience. We could spend days talking about this sport, and regularly find ourselves comparing notes on the perfect stroke, compliment sandwiches, and gnawing on callouses.

Since Day 1, we’ve sought to disrupt the popular, yet limited narrative about rowing culture. We celebrate the expansive array of rowers, coaches, and coxswains and savor real-life experience from launch to cox seat at every level.

Since 2022, Steady State Network has raced as Allies with Oars to promote inclusion and accessibility for all rowers, regardless of gender identity. We do this by boating competitive mixed gender lineups at regattas like USRowing Masters Nationals and Head of the Charles. With your help, we are excited to expand this initiative in 2025, helping more individuals and clubs fly the flag of inclusion.

To encourage developing leaders in the rowing community we provide Changemaker Scholarships for rowing-related conferences and coaching certification courses

Partnerships with organizations and businesses allow us to offer more scholarships to deserving developing leaders.

Since 2020, through 5 seasons and over 110 episodes, Steady State Podcast has been fascinated by backstories – the real-life experiences on and off the water that make people the rowers, coaches, and coxswains they are today. From indoor rowing, to flat water masters, to coastal and ocean adventurers, we celebrate the global humanity of our sport. Together we disrupt and expand the narrative about rowing culture.
