Paul Rassam will be entering his 19th season as the head coach of the Princeton lightweight women during the spring of 2024.
Princeton followed up the 2022 magical season with a just as impressive 2023 campaign. The Tigers won three gold medals at Eastern Sprints before sweeping the IRA National Championships. The Tigers won the women’s lightweight team crown and the IRA Commissioner’s Cup for the second consecutive year. Rassam was later named IRA Coach of the Year for the 2023 season while the varsity eight also won the Women’s Lightweight Crew of the Year again. That boat has not lost to another lightweight boat since 2019.
The 2022 season was arguably the best campaign in program history as the varsity eight won the IRA Women’s Lightweight Crew of the Year while Rassam was named IRA Women’s Lightweight Coach of the Year after winning the IRA title.
Princeton opened 2022 with a 13.1-second victory over Georgetown before taking down Radcliffe by 4.3 seconds. The Tigers then headed on the road to defeat No. 3 Stanford before winning Eastern Sprints. Princeton went on to earn two gold medals at the Dad Vail Championships before winning the national championship at IRAs.
The Tigers won the varsity eight national championship for the first time since 2003, cruising to a dominating 26.3-second victory over Wisconsin in 2021.
The 2020 season was cancelled due to the coronavirus.
The 2019 season was a magical one for Princeton as it collected its first gold medal at Eastern Sprints since 2011. The Tigers would later go on to earn silver the IRA Championships, another milestone reached for the first time since 2011.
After spending the 2011 season ranked No. 1, Princeton ended Wisconsin’s long run at EAWRCs with a win in the grand final. Princeton also took silver at the IRA Championships, and it nearly knocked off reigning champion Stanford with a dramatic final push on Cooper River.
Prior to his time at Princeton, he served two years as the head women’s coach and two others as an assistant coach at George Mason from 2000-2004. During his two years as the head coach, he was able to triple the George Mason team size. His successful term was highlighted at the Dad Vail Regatta in 2004, when he led the Varsity 8s to the semifinal race for the first time in six years.
Rassam has also coached masters at Smichov Rowing Club, Prague and Capital Rowing Club in Washington, D.C.
A 1997 Princeton graduate with a degree in English literature, Rassam started his professional career as an account manager with Eurosports Marketing in Prague and Budapest. He rowed as a lightweight for three years and won two bronze medals at the Eastern Sprints (1991 and 1992) and one gold in 1995, when Princeton went on to win the Jope Cup.
Rassam believes in much more than rowing technique. He believes in nutrition, health, strength and fitness, both in his rowers and himself. He lives an athletic lifestyle and is an avid runner, and he has run in several marathons. He set a personal record of 2:48 in the 2008 Boston Marathon.

Pedicone begins his second season with Princeton in the spring of 2024.
Princeton followed up the 2022 magical season with a just as impressive 2023 campaign. The Tigers won three gold medals at Eastern Sprints before sweeping the IRA National Championships. The Tigers won the women’s lightweight team crown and the IRA Commissioner’s Cup for the second consecutive year.
Prior to arriving at Princeton, Pedicone was coaching at Drexel University where he spent one season helping the men’s rowing squad earn the Dad Vail Regatta team trophy, while also helping the women’s team to its best finish ever at the CAA Championships. During his year in Philadelphia, Pedicone also coached masters at Bachelors Barge Club.
Pedicone spent the 2020 – 2021 season coaching at Rutgers University during the most successful season in program history. For their efforts, Pedicone and the rest of the Rutgers staff were honored as the CRCA Regional Coaching Staff of the Year.
The Tigers’ assistant rowed as a heavyweight for the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1992. As a member of the freshman eight, Pedicone won gold at the Eastern Sprints, bronze at the IRA Championships, and made it to the quarterfinals at the Henley Royal Regatta. His sophomore year, Pedicone won silver at the Eastern Sprints as a member of the second varsity eight. As a junior, Pedicone rowed in Penn’s undefeated second varsity eight, taking gold at Sprints and IRAs, and going on to be the only American crew to win at the 1991 Henley Royal Regatta. He was team captain his senior year, helping the varsity eight win a bronze medal at the Eastern Sprints, gold (and a course record) at the IRA Championships, and bronze at the Collegiate National Championship.
After graduating from Penn, Pedicone rowed for the US Senior National Team in the lightweight eight at the World Rowing Championships in 1993 and 1994, finishing 7thand 5th respectively.
Pedicone is the founder of the Cure for IBD Foundation, a non-profit that raises funds for research toward new therapies and cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, with a special focus on pediatric IBD. He is an avid cyclist, and in 2015 raised funds by completing 280 miles over a 26-hour period in the Adirondack Mountains. Some of his other fundraising events have included completing an Ironman and the New York City Marathon.
