"Before
attending the coxing clinic, my coxswains simply
saw themselves as the two people in our boathouse
who didn’t row. They came home identifying
themselves as part of a community of coxswains –
a group worthy of coaching, enthusiasm, and time.
It was a validating and empowering experience for
them. They came back ready to take their job
and struggles more seriously."
