Coxswain

My name is Brooke, I am 15 years old and I have coxed for two seasons. I'm a bit taller than your average cox ;) Just your average rowing blog, but more new zealand related and a bit of my own stuff :)

Sitting in the starting blocks would be one of the most nerve racking moments

Your hands are sweating

You can feel the butterflies in your stomach

Your breathing gets heavy

A million things are running through your head

The roll call starts, you sit up tall

Attention

BEEP

the nerves go away but the pain builds up
