Practice Coxing Video with Prompts

Because coxswains can't get out and practice in a boat right now, I wanted to create a tool to help keep your skills active. This video will help you practice taking in information while keeping your dialogue constant, being flexible to race development, and using your calls. To utilize this tool, prepare yourself to actually cox out loud while watching it. Pretend this is a race and your boat. Try coxing out loud as much as you can! It will help you with a little stage fright because if you can cox at a screen and not feel silly, then you can handle coxing real people!
Please let me know if you find this useful and if you would like more videos like this or other tools.

I really loved the format! Fantastic way to check what i'd say against the prompt

If you want an idea for another video, tips on coxing an 8 in high winds and on a river with lots of turns. Docking smoothly is also a skill to learn for a new Coxswain.

I have never heard calls to "walking" before. I imagine it is a reference to moving through another crew at a steady pace.

That's so awesome im Humboldt inbound and they're very proud of the womens rowing team they won their division finals.
I am excited to try for their novice team.
