great intro and wonderful to see these perspectives from the 9th seat and launch. Having been both a rower and coxswain as a new master, it's really helpful to get this background. Scariest part at beginning was docking a boat on a windy day with novice rowers.
It’s very difficult to cox a boat more experienced than you! I also got yelled at my novice year. But building trust goes a long way! If you show that you’re putting in the work to get better and you really care, and they can trust that you’ll keep the boat safe, the respect will come. Good luck!

This is amazing, I’m 3 years younger in middle school than the boat I’m coxing, after every session I would get yelled at, now I know my duties

This is exactly the introduction I was looking for to teach our juniors as they each take a turn coxing this summer. Thank you for making this video!
Thank you! Hope it helps!
