Peter Brewer, Director of Rowing at Putney High School Rowing Club

Franki has been an inspiration; using her own training to motivate us and her passion for rowing to keep us enthusiastic. She genuinely cares about our success and is always thinking of new ways to help, and she keeps in touch with how we are. She assisted me greatly last year with her common sense approach, helping me to join together what I had been told by other coaches. She understood when to help me and when to let me figure things out by myself, which showed her clear understanding of people. Her cheery and exuberant personality lightens any session, no matter how cold!
