First and Third Trinity Boat Club

Club Committee

2004 - 2005 Manifestos

Rachel Wolf - Coxing Captain

My role as Coxing Captain would be

  • To work with the Lower Boats Captains to recruit coxes during Freshers' week both at the Boat Club Squash and in general
  • To find out about and recruit any new experienced coxes
  • To find personal coaches for each of the coxes in order to get them to a safe standard as rapidly as possible
  • To arrange separate coaches for various outings after coxes have been selected for novice crews with the sole purpose of directing and assisting the novice cox
  • To prevent breakdown in communication between cox and coach, and address any issues the cox may have about insufficient advice or feedback
  • To monitor the state of coxing equipment in the boathouse. Should there be any damage, I would try and prevent blame from being misdirected
  • To represent the interests and concerns of First and Third coxes at the committee meetings

Why I am qualified

  • I novice coxed in Michaelmas term of 2003, so I am extremely familiar with the various problems and concerns new coxes are likely to have
  • Although I will probably cox at a low level next year, I do not intend to compete for any of the top boats, so I will not have a personal interest in decisions
  • I am aware of the wealth of experience and talent in the boathouse, and I fully intend to seek the advice of members who have more experience than I do.
