[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did because “my” rowers made me run with them down to the boathouse every morning and back. I loved coxing. I hope people take it up for what it is, and not just a means to get into the right college.[/quote] Former highschool and college rower here and I agree - I loved and admired my coxswains, the good ones anyway! They were incredible and they make or break a race. A cox can motive you to pull past another boat and win, or they can make a steering mistake and you lose by a half a length. The best ones did run and erg with us - not to prove anything or to try to get the best erg time but for solidarity. Rowing hurts, and if someone is going to tell you to pull harder and hurt more it sure helps if they have suffered along side you.[/quote]
