Chuck Rodosky enters his second season as an assistant coach and recruiting director with the Duke rowing program. Rodosky had spent the previous six years as an assistant coach at Ohio State.

During his initial campaign at Duke in 2015-16, he took the Blue Devils to their first NCAA Championships appearance, as well as a second-place finish at the ACC Championship. For his efforts, he was part of the Duke coaching staff that received Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) National and Region 3 Staff of the Year accolades.

Rodosky oversaw the 2V8 in 2016 as it won the C Final at the NCAA Championships. The crew also took second at the ACC Championship Grand Final. The 2V8 helped the Blue Devils tie for first with No. 14 Indiana and No. 17 Notre Dame at the Dale England Cup as the 2V8 won both of its races. His 2V8 was also named ACC Crew of the Week following the initial week of the season when it won its race and Duke took second overall at the Carolina Cup.

At the ACC Championship Grand Final, Rodosky’s 2V8 captured second in a photo finish, slipping past Notre Dame 6:32.322-6:32.326. The Blue Devils were seeded third entering the competition. His 2V8 was then one place away from earning a spot in the A/B semifinals at the NCAA Championships.

His role with the 2V8 allowed Duke to be ranked 16th by the CRCA in the final poll. The Blue Devils appeared in the ledger five times, tied for the most in a year in program history.

Rodosky came to Durham after six years with Ohio State, working primarily with the first and second N8 crews as well as the V4. Rodosky capped his Buckeye career with his third consecutive NCAA title as Ohio State became the first team in NCAA history to win three consecutive national championships. The Buckeyes claimed an individual national title in the V8, a runner-up finish in the 2V8 and fifth place in the V4.

Rodosky helped the first N8 to a silver medal and the second N8 to a bronze medal at the 2014 Big Ten Championships as Ohio State won its second consecutive Big Ten title and third in four years with a championship-record 164 points. After conquering the Big Ten, the Buckeyes were victorious at the NCAA Championships for the second year in a row.

In 2013, Rodosky guided the first N8 to a second-consecutive gold medal at the Big Ten Championships, earning 14 points toward the team's 160-point total. The Scarlet and Gray went on to win the 2013 Big Ten Championships and the 2013 NCAA Championships.

At the 2012 Big Ten Championships, Rodosky led the Buckeyes to a gold medal in the first N8 and a silver medal in the second N8, earning 20 points toward the team total of 145. In 2011, Rodosky coached the first N8 to a silver medal and the second N8 to a bronze at the Big Ten Championships. Both performances helped Ohio State secure its third conference title.

In 2010, Rodosky guided the first N8 to a third-place finish and the second N8 to a second-place showing at the Big Ten Championships. In addition, the first N8 advanced to the Grand Final at the South/Central Region Sprints, placing third overall.

Prior to his role with Ohio State, Rodosky served as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Iowa women's rowing program (2006-10). Rodosky guided the Hawkeye first N8 to a third-place finish at the 2007 Big Ten Championships and the second N8 to a third-place finish at the 2008 Big Ten Championships. Rodosky made significant strides in recruiting, producing three N8 crews. He also advanced several novice athletes onto the varsity team each year to race at the Aramark South/Central Region Sprints.

Before coaching at Iowa, Rodosky was an assistant coach at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. (2005-06). Rodosky brought in an unprecedented recruiting class in terms of numbers as the Bantams fielded a first and second N8 for the first time in program history. The first N8 finished the season undefeated, capturing a New England Rowing Conference championship and placing second at the ECAC Championships. Trinity concluded the 2006 season with a third-place team finish at the NCAA Division III Championships.

Rodosky began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach at Ohio State. In three seasons with the Buckeyes (2003-05), Rodosky guided several boats to top-three finishes at both conference and regional championships. In 2005, the Scarlet and Gray 2V4 captured an Aramark South/Central Region Championship. As a team, Ohio State concluded the 2005 season with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The first and second N8 finished second at the Central Region championships in 2003 and 2004, while the 2V4 and second N8 both placed second at the 2003 Big Ten Championships.

Rodosky participated in the 2000 NYAC U.S. Development Camp as well as the 2001 Nereid U.S. Development Camp. He also holds US Rowing Level III coaching certification.

A rower (1995-99) and team captain (1997-99) at Bowling Green State University, Rodosky earned his bachelor's degree in accounting in 1999.
