coxswain

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.

Become a better coxswain by learning from the best!

Through our e-mail, coxpodcast@gmail.com, Marcus and I have been answering quite a few e-mails and now we are going to share some of them that we think will help everyone else. This question deals with coxswain involvement with practice.

Mary & Marcus are back for May with a new video podcast. This month they discuss how to feel the boat during racing.

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.
