John Edwards took over as the head coach of the men's crew team in the Spring of 2022, replacing longtime head coach Alex Machi who retired at the conclusion of the 2021 Fall season.
Coach Edwards has been with The Academy for two decades working in the small boats department and other areas of Massachusetts Maritime.
Since taking over the men's rowing team he has earned his US Rowing Level 2 Coach Certification.
Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s Head Coach Winthrop John Edwards, a trailblazing figure in the world of rowing whose journey into the sport defies convention. While many head coaches boast collegiate rowing pedigrees, Coach Edwards charted a unique path.
His love affair with rowing began later in life, diving into the sport at the masters level. Without the traditional college rowing background, Coach Edwards passion for the water and dedication to the craft propelled him into the heart of competitive rowing. His journey from novice to seasoned rower, competing fiercely in regattas, embodies resilience, learning, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Coach Edwards brings an unparalleled perspective, blending hands-on experience, a deep understanding of the sport, and an unwavering commitment to nurturing and shaping the next generation of rowing champions.
