Yesterday I posted two great questions on dealing with injuries and communicating with your coaches about your recovery, taking time off, etc. – you can check those out here and here. The key takeaway from both of those is that you must communicate with your coaches, regardless of how approachable or not they might be.

I also posted on Tuesday about five things you should do as a novice coxswain (or whenever you join a new team) to ensure you have a smooth start to your coxing career.
