About Us
Empowering Champions Through Excellence
Founded by elite athlete couple Florian and Dobrian Tudor, Star Rowing was built on the belief that greatness is earned, through discipline, resilience, and the right guidance. From their own journey rising through adversity to the world stage, they’ve created a program that empowers young athletes to achieve more than they thought possible, in rowing, in academics, and in life. Today, Star Rowing stands as a trusted path to personal growth, athletic excellence, and full-ride college scholarships.
Our Mission
Empowering the Next Generation of Champions — On and Off the Water
At Star Rowing, our mission is to unlock the full potential of every student-athlete we coach, not just in rowing, but in life. We provide world-class training, mentorship, and a pathway to full-ride collegiate scholarships for dedicated high school students. But rowing is only the beginning.
Through elite coaching, character development, and a disciplined, mindset-first approach, we shape resilient individuals who rise to challenges, lead with integrity, and carry the habits of champions into every area of their future, whether it's in athletics, academics, or personal growth.
Our Approach:
The Star Method
Our coaching philosophy is centered around excellence and personal growth. We believe in pushing boundaries, unlocking potential, and instilling the winning mentality required for success. Through our program, students not only learn rowing skills but also develop crucial life skills that set them up for future triumphs.
Champion Development
Every training session at Star Rowing is an opportunity to build character. We focus on mindset just as much as movement, cultivating resilience, confidence, and teamwork. Our athletes learn how to stay composed under pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and lead with integrity, traits that last long after their time in a boat.
