    I went to the Henley Royal Regatta to talk about rowing, the only sport in the world where the competitors face backwards.

    To be fair, the OTHER thing cox'es do is try to psych out the other nearby rowers - in particular, your opposition's 2 stern rowers, who generally set the rhythm of the rowing for the entire boat. Or at least, that's what our coxswain offered to while we were rowing in the Pacific Coast Rowing Championship. (Spoiler: we declined, and we lost, but it was OK because all 3 boats in our group qualified for nationals....and none of us went, as it was too expensive to send the Freshman teams back to the East Coast.)
    (EDIT - although perhaps that's where the "no swearing" rule the guy was talking about comes from - it's there to keep the coxwains from engaging in psychological warfare with other boats.)
    Ah, yes: Freshman lightweight 8 rowing: aka "wow, you guys managed to fill out an entire team!"

    I was a rower for 3 years. It is the most physically demanding sport i have found to date and by far the most competitive. The team spirit is brilliant and makes you feel like part of something bigger but damn its a demanding sport. We were training 11 times a week for the Maadi cup before i left to do the Coast to Coats and the Gold Duke of edinburugh award. I wish they would let us race u18 octs now THAT would be stupidly fast but it was banned as people were breaking wrists when catching crabs at that speed.
