Coxswain Audio

As the indoor season is upon most of the rowing world, Mary & Marcus take time to answer your questions. This edition of the podcast covers multitasking as a coxswain.

Mary and Marcus are back for the fall season with their newest podcast. In this episode they break down their racing experience from the 2007 Head of the Charles.

This month on the podcast Mary & Marcus interview Katelin Snyder, the coxswain for the U.S. Women's U-23 boat. They talk about the differences between coxing men and women and what it takes to make the jump from collegiate coxing to the National Team.

Our second recording in the Coxswain Practice Tapes series is an exclusive racing piece vs. Oxford University, less than 10 days before The Boat Race against Cambridge. Listen in as the U.S. guys take on the Dark Blues on the Tideway. Warning: Explicit Language at times.

Here is the first in a series of exclusive practice recordings from Marcus McElhenney.
This piece is from the U.S. Team's February training camp in Seattle. Listen in from the coxswain's seat as the eight does a solo 5 minute piece at 28spm on Lake Washington.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. After safety, steering straight is a coxswains #1 job. This month Marcus and I discuss how we approach our #1 job and how we successfully take our 60+ foot boat down the race course as straight as possible.

Every coxswain makes mistakes at some point. It's all about how you deal with the mistake and handle what comes next. This month we responded to an email and share some of the mistakes we have made in the past and how we learned from them.

Not a day goes by that some coxswain doesn't ask us about our style of racing. They want to know what it is and how we developed it. It has become so bad that we decided to do some research and see what was out there. Apparently nothing.
