The fall season is starting (or about to start) so this is just a reminder for all the novice rowers and coxswains, rowers turned coxswains, coxswains turned rowers, first year coaches, and anyone else who is just getting started in the sport – nobody’s great right off the bat and nobody understands everything right away either. It takes time. Be persistent and don’t get frustrated with yourself. I promise, the extra effort you put in now is so worth it in the end.
