A word from our captain of coxes...

"When I first started rowing, I was told that three traits were essential to be a cox: Short stature, light build and loud mouth. However, I am currently 6”2 and so far it's worked out pretty well for me. In truth, what makes a good cox are the ability to motivate, a technical mind and a collected disposition. Despite this, if you happen to share any of the earlier traits, it’s an added bonus 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"
