Winning at Coxing 2024 | Cambridge Boat Club

Details

The Winning at Coxing 2024 clinic in Cambridge is a one-day event dedicated to helping coxswains with 0-5 years of experience improve their skills. Coxing is a unique position in sports, requiring a combination of boat skills, technical knowledge, and in-race strategy. As an on-board player-coach, coxswains face different challenges than their teammates, making it a difficult role to learn and coach. The clinic, organized by CBC's coxswains, including former World Champions and Olympic Gold medalists, aims to shine a spotlight on coxing and elevate the skills of both novice and experienced coxswains and their coaches. While coxing cannot be mastered in a day, the clinic will cover a wide range of topics, including boat handling, safety, rowing technique from the coxswain's seat, coxing practices versus races, building trust and empathy, race tactics, and the application of advanced technology. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experienced coxswains and ask questions during "Ask me anything" sessions with a coach, Olympic gold medalist, former world champion, and a six-time HOCR winner. A special session for coaches will also be offered. The clinic will feature a guest speaker who is a USRowing race official. The cost of the clinic is for food and overhead only, as all coxswains are volunteering their time. Scholarships are available for those in need. To apply for a scholarship or register for the clinic, interested individuals can email bauer.seth@gmail.com with their name, program name (if applicable), and an explanation of their need. Don't miss this chance to elevate your coxing skills and learn from the best at the Winning at Coxing 2024 clinic in Cambridge.
