Description

Among all positions in all sports, coxing is unique: you’re an on-board player-coach with a set of tasks and challenges completely different than your teammates’. No wonder coxing is difficult to learn—and to coach. That’s why the coxswains of CBC, including former World Champions and Olympic Gold medalists, and winners of races of every kind, have created a one-day clinic meant to put coxing in the limelight and elevate the skills of novice and experienced coxswains and their coaches. While coxing can’t be learned in a day, the clinic will cover the full range of the role. Some of the topics will be presented to the entire group; for others three tracks will be offered to cater to different experience levels and participants can move between tracks as desired. A special session for coaches will also be offered. Just some of the topics include: Boat handling and safetyRowing technique from the coxswain’s seatCoxing practices vs. racesBuilding trust, empathy and motivational skillsRace tactics and responsibilitiesApplying advanced tech to steer straighter and go fasterAsk me anything sessions with: a coach & Olympic gold medalist, a former world champion & Olympic medalist, and a 6 time HOCR winnerSpecial guest speaker will be a USRowing race official. While the outside speakers may be compensated, all of the coxswains are donating their time, and the cost of the day is for food and overhead only. Need based scholarships are available upon application. To apply please email [email protected] with your name, program name (if any) and an explanation of your need.
