New coach will lead novice lightweights for the Badgers
MADISON, Wis. – Lightweight rowing coach Dusty Mattison announced the addition of Karly Laney to the Wisconsin staff as an assistant coach on Wednesday. Laney began her duties on Aug. 1.
Laney arrives in Madison from Knoxville, Tennessee, and the University of Tennessee rowing program. She served the past two years as a graduate assistant coach for the Volunteers, spending time setting up a mental training program, while also helping coach the novice program and the program's boat maintenance. She was also involved in on-campus recruiting and marketing of the team.
While in Tennessee, Laney completed her masters in kinesiology, focusing on sport psychology and motor behavior.
"I am very excited about Karly joining our staff and the positive energy she will bring leading the novice lightweights," Mattison said. "She is dedicated to cultivating a competitive and cohesive team and understands how that starts with the novices.
"Her background in sports psychology will be invaluable in developing student-athletes who are excited to be true leaders in our mission of returning to a National Championship program."
Prior to Tennessee, Laney spent six months as assistant junior rowing coach at The King's School in Canterbury, United Kingdom, where she organized travel and training camps and organized the school's King's Invitational Match Regatta, in addition to her coaching duties.
The Corvallis, Oregon, native rowed at Oregon State University during her time as an undergraduate from 2009 through 2013, then spent the 2013-14 season as an undergraduate assistant coach for the Beavers, coaching the team's novice eight.
She also coached a year with the Masters Corvallis Rowing Club in 2013-14 and was involved with U.S. junior national team rowing camps in 2016.
