CoxPod is an informational podcast dedicated to coxing topics. Our decades of experience as coxswains include trips to the medal stand, crossing the finish line in last place, and everything in between—not to mention the countless hours spent at practice, whether on the water or on land. Our primary goal is to promote ongoing skills development. Join us as we recognize, appreciate, and articulate the details that go into becoming the best coxswains we can be.

042 | Coxing Tank Sessions
Indoor rowing tanks are an unusual setting—offering different opportunities and challenges from what we experience on the water or with ergs. We can assess an individual's rowing stroke when unaffected by any other variables, such as the environment or other rowers, and make improvements that transfer to the water. Here are practical suggestions on how to make the most of tank sessions, including dealing with the acoustic challenges.

041 | Advancing Our Steering
From the moment we get into the coxswain seat, we build our steering skills by testing and trying different tactics. As we advance these skills, maneuvers become easier at both practices and races. This frees up mental bandwidth for the other things we do as coxswains, and it's more fun!

038 | Head of the Charles: Practice Day
No one (but us) thinks to prepare you to cox the practice day at HOCR. We talk about how to be safe and efficient in the setting of hundreds of boats of varied classifications and skill levels squashed into a compressed timeframe on a river with complicated geography. This guidance will help you avoid penalties that could get applied to your race, set appropriate expectations, and leave you and your crew feeling prepped for an amazing HOCR.

037 | Recruitment & Retention
Our teams can be caught in one or both of these common cycles: the downward spiral of recruiting coxswains who quit the team, or the virtuous cycle of recruiting engaged coxswains who become enthusiastic recruiters of others. We emphasize the importance of intentional recruitment and retention strategies. When these go well, the result is a happy and engaged coxswain.

I learned a lot about rowing and being a coxswain from this podcast! I especially liked hearing about how the pandemic has affected the sport. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
