When I'm trying to train a novice coxswain to stay in the traffic pattern, the whole practice is like:

When I'm trying to train a novice coxswain to stay in the traffic pattern, the whole practice is like:
When I get an email from a rower (who lost their most recent seat races by over 10 seconds) accusing me of unfairly keeping them out of the top boats because of their body type, I'm like:
Hi! I love your blog! What team do you coach for?
Thank you!
Unfortunately, I can't reveal which team I coach for. If the club's leadership found out, they'd probably make me stop blogging since a lot of the content is things my rowers have actually done.
How stroke seats feel about everyone else, not just in the boat, but in the world:
When I just manage to fit in a full practice before a strong storm hits and one of my rowers asks if I control the weather:
My rowers after I told them to quit being so dramatic about their 2k tests, because "It's just 2000 meters"
When I get an email that the novice coach took out a boat he wasn't supposed to and damaged it, I'm like:
When I walk into the erg room to announce a suprise 2k test, I'm like:

When my boats are out doing pieces, my coxswain is like:
But if a men's 8 rows by with their shirts off, she's like:
When my assistant coach and I are having a conference about the weather and all of our rowers keep coming up and asking if we're going out, we're like:
When the novices try to carry the oars from the boathouse to the dock
My life for the past month
Between my wedding, our water season starting, and my job that actually pays me $$..
When we spend the whole practice working the catch and the second we're not doing a drill, eveyone goes back to missing water
When I heard that the ice on our lake is still 2 feet thick, even though temps have been in the 40s for the past 2 weeks.
It has been a long winter here in the northlands...
When I see an 8+ row by where there are at least 6 different catches going on:
When a rower brings up the rate by going super fast on the recovery, I'm like:
