client testimonials

  • “I approached P3PE and Cassandra Cunningham at the end of my junior year, with the hopes of rowing at the collegiate level. Basically, I was decent for a high school rower but not ready for college-level performance. I also had no idea where I wanted to go. Through monthly virtual one-on-one sessions, I was able to improve my 2k time and identify a college that would be a good fit academically, socially, and as a rower. Cassandra helped me set my goals, prepared a personalized training, plan which shaved 20 seconds off my 2k time, and she helped me through the process of reaching out to coaches of different, helping me write emails, and basically helping me get their attention. By staying consistent through my workouts with the goal of getting faster in mind, I learned a lot about how far I could push myself. This not only strengthened my body but my mind as well. I was accountable to Cassandra, but I was the one responsible for doing the work. I ultimately signed with Temple University, and it is the perfect fit for me! Cassandra isn't afraid to tell you the truth and will work with you to get your desired results. Not only is she a great coach but she's an awesome friend. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve themselves.”

  • “As parents of a club/high school rower that was looking to continue rowing in college, Cass was instrumental in guiding our son through the recruiting process (which can get quite confusing). She always had our son's best interest in mind, even when her opinion differed from ours. She provided our son with direction but held him accountable for putting in the work. Her involvement in the process was also extremely beneficial to our home dynamic, as our son looked to Cass as both coach and mentor. We consider Cass a friend and we look forward to seeing her at future regattas.”

  • "Coach Cassandra made the college selection process so much easier for us. Her guidance helped us find the perfect program for our daughter, and she’s absolutely thriving!"

  • "Cassandra’s knowledge of the college recruiting process is unparalleled. She’s honest, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She helped our son identify colleges that aligned with his goals and values, and she made sure he was prepared for every step, from campus visits to interviews with coaches. Her mentorship went beyond rowing—she helped him grow as a person. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done."

  • "Working with p3pe and Coach Cunningham gave me the confidence to reach out to college coaches and taught me how to represent myself. I couldn’t have done it without her support."
