A word from our captain of coxes...
Many myths surround the role of the coxswain. They are often seen as the 'little person at the front of the boat yelling at their crew'. In truth, what makes a good cox is the ability to motivate, a technical mind and a collected disposition. The coxswain plays a vital role in navigating for their crew- where they are the engine, the cox is the pilot. In addition, the cox assists in coaching the crew, whilst motivating them through races and tough outings. Novice coxes can expect to be paired with experienced crews who will help them build their confidence and understanding of the river.
