As a male I prefer technical calls that remind the crew to maintain their technique, especially as they are at their limit. Calls that remind them to keep their Length, Reach, Sharpness, clean finishes, releasing the boat and letting it run. But this is about motivationals calls, which cannot be reused without losing their impact. The best I heard was for a woman's crew as it was coming downing to final few hundred meters, in a close race and the Cox shouted, "FLY MY PRETTIES! FLY" ... it seemed to have an impact. I'd love to know if that was planned or was off-the-cuff.
This was really helpful! I feel like you did a terrific job of explaining how situational context matters a great deal when making a goal. Something I'm somewhat ashamed to say I have not really considered. My program doesn't really have a coach or anything, so I'd be really curious on whether you could do a video on volume e.g. when you do yell, when do you keep your voice level. So far my experience with my 8 is: consistent yelling beats consistent staying quiet (also because our coxbox really sucks), but I feel like this technique could definitely use some refinement
Juliet Coalton thank you so much!! I’m glad you found it helpful. Yes unfortunately even when there is a coach, coxswains rarely receive constructive coaching. I’ll think on how to do a video on variance in tone!! If you’re having trouble with your cox box also try cleaning it, that usually helps a bunch :)
It’s been ages since this comment was posted but I struggle with motivational calls because although I cox a quad I don’t have a coxbox so I struggle with volume
Some really good points. Maybe you can have examples of your calls and motivation from your older videos. I'm not sure how easy it is to splice some in, they would add some visual cues to your otherwise very informative presentation. Coxing can help win or lose a race and there are many examples of that, just yelling at a crew can be counter productive. The right motivation correctly timed as well as accurate boat handling via the rudder and crew is critical to success. Keep up the good work.
I’m here because I’m about to cox my second event with my new team and although we won our first this is a national event and I haven’t done one since rowing with my school boat club so fingers crossed that we will do well but so far the only advice I as the cox have had is ‘shout as loud as you can and make everyone take you seriously’ so I don’t know helpful that will be but we have done well at training recently so we should do okag
Where’d all the time go? I’m writing this more for myself but hi it’s been over a year since this comment and I’ve raced five national events since next season is ideally my big season it’s the Henley year the boat I was writing about here was my quad and we didn’t do great and we never have we’re the national average, dead middle of the table at every national event we’d done next season is the eight bring on Henley (this isn’t going to age well)
If you know your crew’s aproxímate time, you can time the race(every Cox box has a timer) and divide the time obviously it won’t be perfect, sometimes the rowers are pulling harder or their technique is better but it’s better than nothing. Also if you know the river well there are certain “landmarks” that you know are 100,500,1000,1500,2000m, etc.

@@hidden2world894 good job 👏 congrats
how did it go?
do you have a video on how to make good power moves? I always feel super repetitive by calling build 5s, power 5s, etc.
REALLY GREAT! Thanks for this!

I don’t have a speed coach or anything so is there a way to tell how far you’ve gone?

I’m turning 13 and I’m doing rowing and I have a race coming and I’m cox so I’m looking for advice
God this is so helpful!!
Crew is niche, Coxing even more so… unfortunate that RUclips is so based of subscribers for certain niche knowledge wells
