Today we’d like to introduce our lovely Coxswain’s squad! Taking over as this years Cox captain is Louis, here are some of his aims and training plans for this upcoming year…

Aims:
We want to build a squad of confident, well-trained coxes who know both the rules of the river and fastest line to take.

Aspirations:
Coxes should look forward to comps! It’s a chance for the whole boat to come together and put into practise what you’ve worked on. We’re aiming for a good bit of pot hunting as well as the excitement of competing in some of the biggest events in the country like Head of the River, Henley Women’s and Henley Royal (as well as international trips!)

Training:
From tideway code walkthroughs at the pub to pre-race briefings, we know that a confident cox is a speedy cox. Getting to know the beast that is the tideway is a priority in our cox training and we’ll make sure everyone gets to know it well through journeys along the tideway together to identify common training landmarks and pinch points.
