#12 - A Good Coxswain

Crew boats, they are only as fast as their coxswain can steer straight.

Just like rowers, some coxies are better than others. When you find a good cox life for a rower is made much easier.

These talented smaller folk with big voices are often overlooked and underestimated by many. They stand quietly beside their crews while most of the glory gets placed on the athletes. They are the care takers of the group, making sure everyone is properly clothed and adequately hydrated and fed. They often appear at regattas with some form of baked deliciousness for the athlete's post-race. They are the masters of race plans, leaving the athletes with little to think about other than pulling hard.

UTRC's finest KM.

A good cox naturally gains the respect of its athletes and without question us rowers obey and try to soak in every little word that comes out of their mighty mouths. They are the most commanding personal chauffeur you will ever have!

Spot the cox.

Awesome!
