[quote=Anonymous]My DS coxed for a few years in MS. Rowing is a huge time commitment so make sure they really want to do it. My son stopped at the end of 8th grade because his 3+ hrs of HW were killing him after rowing practice. He left school right when it ended and got home around 7:15. He ate dinner and then was up until midnight working on HW. Some kids can handle that but he has ADHD and it was a slog especially after his medicine wore off. Great sport but it's a lot. They do have camps just for coxswain so that's something to look into. He didn't get much coaching at all since his coaches were former rowers. It's a huge responsibility too since they are in charge of everything. I was always amazed that they let my 12-year-old kid be in charge of a $30K boat. Lol! [/quote]
