Question

In Crew(rowing) what is some good advice for being Cox?

Answer 1

I'm a rower, not a coxswain, so I'm not going to presume to tell you what to do, except not to talk all the time and not to shout into the CoxBox, even if you get excited!  Here are some links where you can get information:

Totally credible--it's Raj Shah's site--she was on the National Team for seven years and competed in two Olympics.

Rachel Quarrell had a successful career as a coxswain for Oxford University and started one of the first (if not the very first) rowing web pages.  Here's her coxing information page.

You'll get a lot of advice on the forums, but I don't know how valuable it is or how experienced the coxswains are.

Same caveat here, but there are links to various guides, some of which you may find useful.
