Goodbye Princeton, Hello New Zealand!
This last two weeks have been filled with receptions, pieces and now packing! After the Meet and Greet at Mercer Lake we had the opportunity to attend two more receptions. The first was given by the National Rowing Foundation in New York at the New York Yacht Club. What made that night special was to see all the alums there…
2010 Meet and Greet–US National Team - 10/10/10
On October 2, 2010 we had an event where the whole National Team that was recently named for the World Championships came together at Mercer Lake for a meet and greet.

What the Heck is a Coxswain? By Daniel Cohen - 08/15/10
A couple of months ago Daniel Cohen sent me an article that he wrote for his school newspaper. I thought I’d share it with you because I liked how Daniel explained what the coxswain does and what we are in charge of. I always like hearing other coxswain’s take of what we do and how we do it. The moment…

Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership M.Ed., University of Washington 2010 - 07/27/10
Many have asked why this blog has not been updated in forever. Well, it is because this past year has felt like I have lived three lives. The first life started June 20, 2009 when I started my Master degree program from the University of Washington. The second life started in August when my internship began with the Tyee Club…

Ergs don’t float so why should coxswains without a PFD?! - 11/03/09
Hi Everyone, I just got an e-mail from Peter giving me a heads up on a very serious topic. To sum up the point make sure your coach’s launch has a life jacket for you too! Check out what Peter says. Hi Mary, It came to my attention during a safety audit that the US Rowing recommended “crash box” has…

HOCR 101–Don’t forget about Eliot! - 10/14/09
I’ve had many coxswains ask me if I have any tips for The Head of the Charles. What a loaded question that one is. I’ve decided to break the course down in the simplest instructions. After all, the more simple you make your coxing the better off you’ll be. The Warm-up: For me the warm-up for HOCR is the worst…

Transferring to a new program…help? - 08/31/09
Q: Unfortunately I will not be coxing for my college next year because I am transferring to a new college. I spoke with the coach at my new college and he said that I would be able to come out for the team in the fall. He said there are 2 senior coxswains, 3 sophomores, and 3 freshman so there will be a lot of competition…
Where has The 9th Seat been? - 08/19/09
Since my last post I, The 9th Seat, have been busy. I started grad school at the University of Washington and am on my way in completing a masters degree in Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership. Which is basically a mouth-full for sports administration for college sports. This is the main reason for taking the summer off from the National Team since…
