I LOVE IT THIS IS A NESCESITY FOR ALL ROWERS AND COXSWAINS AND COACHES ALIKE
As a freshman boys rowing coach I can say with certainty that this is a MUST READ AND MUST HAVE! Not only did I read it and laughed out loud but I insisted every coxswain on our team needed to buy it and read it!
Let’s be honest, most books on rowing are a bit.. Dry.. Ironic right?
Not this one! As a rower turned coach I knew the basics of coxswains terms but when our team lost our "coxswain coach" I realized we were in trouble. I went to coxswain clinics to help become our new source of information which was very helpful and informative but I needed to be able to reach our kids on a deeper level, a visual learning level..being able to hand a novice or even our experienced coxswains an easy to read, informative and funny book that contains all they need has become invaluable!
THANK YOU SHORT AND SNARKY!
I’ve only been rowing for a little over a year, and never coxed until very recently. Basically, I had no clue what I was doing, so I bought this book to help me figure it out so I don’t crash a boat. Let’s be honest, I’m not ever going to be going to the Olympics or anything, but I want to keep my crew and my equipment as safe as possible. I LOVE this book. First, there are PICTURES! Tons and tons of pictures! I’m a very visual person, so getting to see what something should look like, and the step-by-step breakdown of it has been enormously helpful. Second, the book is broken down into short segments, so if I only have 10 minutes, I can study over a few things pretty quickly. Third, (and possibly the most important), the book is well-written, funny and holds my attention, which isn’t easy to do. I knew if I got some bland instruction book, I would ultimately never read it. I’ve bought this book for myself, and have bought more copies as gifts.
