What exactly is a coxswain?

Most people know what rowing is, but not necessarily what it’s all about. Furthermore, most people know what rowers do, but don’t know what a coxswain does. I’ve been a coxswain for 7 years now, and I can’t even count how many times I’ve tried to explain my role on the team. Here’s a little insight on what I really do everyday.

  1. Sydney, I have always wondered what a coxswain did besides yell at the other rowers haha — This perfectly explained it! Such an exciting sport to get involved with. Also, I love how you included footage of yourself in the boats. Awesome explanation, thanks for sharing! 🙂
