    This is Harry's bit. I just wanted to chuck in a few lines to explain the video.
    Firstly, some may remember my infamous HORR 15 video (bye Newcastle etc). I chose to take that down because I felt it didn't represent what I was about. There were guys in there I've gotten to know since then, and it wasn't fair on any of them. I have since made an effort to respect other crews more and keep my head in, it made me a better cox for it. I'm not going to pretend I don't hand out a bit of chat in races, as I definitely do if it'll work for the crew. This race was a better example of me focussing on us.
    Secondly, this isn't an imitation. I'm expecting lots of critical comparisons to other notable videos on RUclips! Those that know me will know I've never tried to be like another cox, but I often listen to other coxes and like bits of what they do, and try it. I hope perhaps this can offer the same to some of you.
    Thirdly, it's far from perfect. I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I wouldn't still be in this sport if I didn't think I could improve - that's half the fun of it. I personally think regattas for a cox are so much more about executing a good race plan, rather than worrying completely about what you say! You can tell just from my voice that we tried to go out hard, but keep as calm as possible for as long as possible. We had a plan, and we went for it. You can tell we have a few pushes that didn't really work - to the credit of the U23s, digging their claws in.
    Most of my work on this crew happened long before the race. Countless debriefs, thousands of kilometres of technique work, words of concern, words of praise. This race, I could have said complete gibberish, but the guys knew the plan so well that it wouldn't have mattered. So this is a note to say that coxing a great race doesn't happen on the day - it starts in the winter, training with your mates, and building calls and race plans that work for you.
    TL:DR
    I'm still learning, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Improving is half the fun in coxing. I was bloody nervous, some of our plan may not have worked, so I just tried to keep our rhythm long and strong.
    Enjoy guys, and have a great summer.

      In unimaginable pain, almost the whole body wants to just shut down and rest,
      you have your own mental saying don't quit, then having that cox there, no way you can disappoint your team and coxswain.
      Really incredible stuff. I love it.

    Great work by the crew but the coxing - wow, that was something else! Nice calm voice but authoritative, clear and concise. Everything seemed to be on point from start to finish. Really enjoyed watching this!

    Can you explain what the tier calls are for? Obviously some kind of going through the gears, but more specifically?

    • @jameswheeler4050
      @jameswheeler4050 7 лет назад +30

      Tom Whittaker The tier calls are basically a way to 'wind up' towards the finish line of the race. The point of tiers as opposed to a single wind up is that the crew will find it easier to move slightly faster together and then work from there. Tiers allow the crew to stay moving together whilst slowly coming up from say 37 spm (middle 1k pace) to a final 45spm by moving to 39(tier 1), 42 and then 45 (tier 3) etc. What you find is that when the cox calls to wind up in one go, boat speed is usually lost as towers move in their own way and become less efficient. Hope this helps!

    Was impressive to watch on the day, great recording with the overlaid coxing 👍 got the best start and made the most of it, have to say although they lost that u23 pressed hard and never lost touch. Still, solid result.

    You sound a lot like a calmer less angry rory copus. Ur start calls are exactly the same! Nice to be able to understand what your saying instead of just getting an angry barrage tho.

    • @44gome
      @44gome 7 лет назад +17

      The advantages of this style is that if you need somewhere to go, you can do this with your tone. In Rory's temple recording, that was a crew who knew they were going to win, and they probably just wanted someone to drive them down the course the whole way. I doubt Rory coxes like that all the time (although could be mistaken ofc)
