Well, do you like coxing? If you do then try to get a little better each time you are out on the water. If you don’t like it then try a new sport. You should spend your time doing what you love. You should figure out why you are bad but if your heart is not in it then this sport is not for you. There are too many practice hours and teammates that will depend on you being at your best.

Good luck in finding your way in rowing. I really hope to figure out if this is what you want to do for fun or not.

The same problems always creep back into the rowing stroke. It is our job as the coxswain to make sure when the bad habits creep back in we make a call to fix it. With that said some coxswains are afraid that they are making the same calls over and over. The reality is is that we are because the same problems are creeping back in. Don’t be afraid that you are saying the same thing especially if the boat feels better after making that same call. You are just doing the job of a coxswain.

Good luck and Steer Straight!

Good, I hope you are now taking the extra step to figuring how to fix the set before giving instructions.

Good Luck!

I hate being a coxswain. And I know that all the guys in the boat hate me, what do I do?

I cox for the boys novice 8, i usually cox the 4s. But in this particular boat theres a real problem with setting the boat. Usually, if I just say “Handle Heights Boys!” or something in that nature they’ll fix it. But then after 20 more strokes or so they’ll lose it. Any ideas?

Thanks! I cox the 3rd boat on my team and we have had a serious problem with set lately. I’ve just been yelling “set the boat!” before reading this.

Thanks Bill for the extra tips! A junior Frosh boat rowing square blades would be a site to see. They would definitely be ready for their Rookie year!
