San Diego Crew Classic 2022
I was the out-of-town guest coxswain and did not know any of the rowers before we started getting prepared for the race, and I was honored my old coach reached out. I had an amazing Crew Classic experience (my first time racing here!) with a local team. Would love to bring my team to the…

My First Head of the Charles
For this HOCR evaluation, I decided to break down the course into sections and reflect on each section because it was such a steering-focused regatta. If you want to check out my other evaluations, you can read the HOA 2016 one here, HOP 2018 one here, and Gold Rush one 2019 here. As much as…

9th Seat Online Cox Camp Highlights Part 2
When I got feedback from my rowers this year and last year, some of the words that described me surprised me. In a positive way, a number of rowers shared that I was forceful and authoritative. Some wrote that they feel safe when they are in my boat or that they liked it when I…

From the rowing-related webinars and team discussions, I have noticed that people just want to know…

Good coxswain recordings give me so much energy even if all I am doing is sitting down and listening to them over and over again! This is one of my favorite recordings that I discovered this year. Start (0:24-1:00) – This start sequence is similar to what my club used this year, so it was…

Notes from “Erg With Olympians” 1/2
In February 2017, I participated in an extraordinary erg clinic for masters at ZLAC Rowing Club. What was most attractive about the clinic was the two well know and elite athletes, Luke Walton and Kerry Simmonds. Since a lot of clubs and rowers are using winter time to train on ergs more often, I am…

Coxing Learn-To-Row
I love love love coxing learn-to-row sessions. It’s a fantastic opportunity to review fundamentals because coaches will explain them thoroughly. I encourage rowers that want to learn how to cox to volunteer at learn-to-row sessions because the coach will be right next them the whole time. I enjoy watching new rowers develop as better rowers…
