I coxed for my prep school and college ( think Eaton-Harrow- and Oxford) a long time ago, but I bet the technique hasnt changed..\nFirst, only use the rudder during the very begining of the stroke, never during the recovery; having rudder on will upset the balance of the boat. Many short short short ( did I say short?) applications of rudder..maybe only 2 seconds or less at a time spread out over five or six strokes is WAY better than jam on the rudder hold it over slow the boat and upset the balance..then let 'em take another ten strokes or so before you do it again if you have to...if you were looking at your course from above you should see ideally a straight line; since we dont live in an ideal world, you should see long long long graceful curves rather than short violent zig zags..think the track of a runner passing people on a 2000 meter race rather than a footballer going dowmfield avoiding defenders...\n\nPick a point on the riverbank WAY ahead of you to steer for..a tree on the bank a half mile ahead is essentially the middle of the river as far as you're concerned; as you go along, move your aim point ahead.. I had lots of bridges in Boston and Philadelphia to use so it was easier...\n\nIf you find that you are consistently being pulled one way, ask your coach to follow along behind in a launch to see whats happening...frequently it is that the bow oar isnt strong enough to balance out the other rowers, and you may have to re-rig the boat ( is this a 4 or an 8? in a 4 you can put bow and stoke on one side and 2 and 3 on the other..looks wierd but works)  or switch people around...better to balance the capabilities of the rowers than try to correct with the rudder, 'cause each application of the rudder looses you a half- seat to another boat and thats a lot over 2000 meters or a Henely distaance race..lie everything tis comes with practice...get out as many times as you can, even for an hour...\nand I'm glad to hear, that even in these modern times, girls crews are yelling at their coxswain, just as guys did..and I bet they're just as loud and obscene!

Are you asking about a row boat?

I rowed in college and I had coxs who ranged from those that were encouraging and supportive to ones that swore and yelled at us.  Both got the job done in the end though. :)\n\nI haven't rowed in years due to a shoulder injury.  Not all of these are motivational, but let me see what I can remember that might be useful...\n\n- "Keep it long and strong" (that might qualify for the "sexual" connotation you are looking for)\n\n- "Stand on those footstretchers!!!"\n\n- We were often reminded to "Keep smiling".  Apparently, some people will continue to try to breath through their noses.  Rowers need more oxygen than that so "smiling" keeps your mouth open.\n\n- When you are moving past another boat you are racing, you are said to be "walking" on them. We often heard "Let's take/go for a walk" if we were not making enough progress or passing them fast enough.  Plus, our cox would say things like "okay, now give me seat_#" as we walked past the other boat.\n\n- If you want them to pick up their stroke-rating, you can say something like "give me two in two...one...two"  which would mean you want them to increase their speed by two strokes-per-minute in two strokes time.\n\n- Since they are novices, you might find that they are rushing their slides.  You can remind them to have "fast hands, slow slide"\n\n- We called the tools used to tighten and adjust the footstretchers "woodies" which was good for an occasional laugh if someone asked for it suggestively (we were a bunch of college girls, go figure).  Not motivational, but somewhat amusing.\n\n- During races or pieces, as a rower, it's always nice to know the boat's progress.  During a race, I was too busy pulling water to notice where we were on the river (if I knew the course).  For example, let them know they are half-way through.\n\nMy only other advice is to take care of your voice.  My novice cox ended up with callouses on her vocal chords from all the yelling and screaming she did at us.  When she went home after her first year of coxing, her friends didn't even recognize her voice.  And conversely, when she came back from a summer off from coxing, we didn't recognize her voice since the callouses had started to go away.\n\nI don't know if these will be of any help, but good luck!

What a lot of know nothings we have on here. In the official first team squad this season there are 4. Justin Hoyte, Theo Walcott, Matthew Connolly, and Mark Randall who have all made an appearance this season. The last two in the Carling Cup against WBA. A 5th is Kerrea Gilbert who is on loan to Cardiff to gain first team experience. On the edge of the 1st team in the Reserves there is Ryan Garry who has made 1st team appearances in the past but has had a lot of bad injury in the last year, Gavin Hoyte, Justin's Brother, Henri Lansbury, Joe O'Cearuill, Jay Simpson, Lee Butcher, Paul Rodgers, Marc Elston, Rene Steer, Kieran Gibbs, & James Dunne, who manyof them could get a run out if Arsenal progress in the Carling Cup as That is Arsene Wenger's policy. So to all you know nothings on here, check your facts out before posting comments that make you look like you know nothing about football. Which I'm sure you don't by the look of it.

If you can get a boat out from Brora,Golspie or Helmsdale area you can get some cracking sport.I fished that area last year and we filled 10 boxes with cod and ling between 7 rods and I think only 1 trace got lost and that was due to fisherman error.\nThe boat we used was called Bonny Lass and the skipper was called Tom Macrae (sorry dont have his number but I am sure its in the phone book)

Me too. My brother went to Austrailia for the Flounders Cup, and my dad played and coached all through out my life. I got a step brother that plays in the M.L.L. in B.C. I used to play practice with my bro and was pretty good at it. It helps that we are North American Natives too, our game!
