Shooting It Straight - Archive
We have been coxswains for over a decade and we still learn something new every day. The reason we were able to be part of so many amazing boats was because we had a ton of help. More help then you could ever imagine from so many amazing people, friends and coaches.
Mary and I are putting our knowledge and information out there in the hopes that it makes some good coxswains better. The goal is to be a source where coxswains from across the country can ask questions and get answers they could not find anywhere else.
This is a place that makes National Team athletes accessible to those who will eventually replace us. We will open a window into what it is like being a National Team athlete. This is a place where we can all grow, learn and have some fun.
We hope you enjoy the podcast series.
