As a new cox i have come to the realization that coxing is 70% sitting in a puddle of cold water, 20% getting splashed by your rowers, and 10% wondering if there actually is a log right in front of your boat or are you just seeing things
To add onto that 10% is wondering if that big thunk you heard was a log hitting the bottom of the boat and snapping off the skeg or a rower shoving their oar into the oarlock

mbti as things I’ve said as the coxswain of a rowing team
ISTJ: “Do you WANT to ram a bridge and die today?”
INTJ: “And on our starboard side, you can see the Mines of Moria.”
ISTP: “Please don’t sing Hozier in the boat.”
INFJ: “Don’t push off you idiots I’M STILL ON THE DOCK!”
INFP: “Is everyone still alive? No deaths today?”
ESFP: “hey uh did anyone remember the boat snacks?”
ENFP: *accidentally presses the siren button on the coach’s megaphone*
ENTP: “We are STRONG! We are MEN!” *is a 115-lb woman*
ENTJ: “I will not refer to you as ‘matey’, but I will answer to ‘captain’.”
ESTJ: “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T PEE OUT THE SIDE OF THE BOAT.”
ISFJ: *sneezes into the mic*
ISFP: “I’m small, frozen, and responsible for steering. Leave me alone.”
INTP: “This is the warship, lads.”
ESTP: “I know what a penis looks like, actually.”
ESFJ: “I’m not allowed to swear during a race but you get the idea.”
ENFJ: *messes up a call* “DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHATEVER I JUST SAID.”
As an ENFJ Coxswain, I agree.
