Steve Giddings - Assistant Coach
Phone: 314-289-6333
E-Mail: SJGiddings@aol.com
Coach: Competitive Sculling
Steve rowed his freshman year in college, but soon traded his oar for a bass guitar (hey, paid the bills). His daughter, Olivia, who rowed and sculled for SLRC as a Junior brought him back to rowing in 1992.
Steve has rowed a single for 20 years. He has attended numerous sculling camps and clinics. After attending one camp for 10 years, he was honored as their slowest learner. He has formal training in exercise physiology. He has lost to some of the fastest masters scullers in North America.
While he still does the occasional introduction to sculling sessions upon request, he has focused on more advanced scullers who are interested in competing, or just improving both fitness and technique.
Apart from rowing, Steve is an endocrinologist on staff at the local VA Medical Center, and a faculty member at Washington University School of Medicine. He teaches, sees patients and conducts research on diabetes and hypertension.
Steve lives with Kathy, who has put up with his shenanigans for almost 50 years. Their horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots and cats have since departed, but they continue to live with their Jack Russell and Yorkshire Terriers, Bean, Blossom, Minnie and Roman, in the Central West End.
Weather and health permitting, he will direct four coached sessions per week:
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 AM to 7 AM
Saturdays and Sundays from 6:30 AM to 8 AM (he likes to sleep in on weekends)
