Hey guys! Today I will be talking to you about a great experience and opportunity I had not too long ago. Laura Simon, the Yale coxswain coach, hosted a coxswain clinic at Yale for high school level coxswains. Keep reading to hear about of it went!!
THE EXPERIENCE
I believe the experience was more valuable than what I learned at the clinic. Yes, what I learned at the clinic will be helpful when we get back on the water but the experience I will carry with me forever. On our way to Yale, we wondered what to expect and let me tell you we were wrong. Being able to visit such a prestigious university is a privilege that not everyone has. The clinic was held in the gym and we got to opportunity to see some of the water polo players practice and it was beyond impressive.
WHAT I LEARNED
Much of what Laura talked about was not new to me because I had heard my coach talk about it at least once in the past. But it was nice to see the perspective of a coach who was a coxswain, she understands the struggles of everyday practice as a coxswain. It was also nice to see what she demands of her coxswains at a collegiate level. I also learned how to make my recordings sound better, but I was already working on that on my own or at least I was trying.
Well, that is all for today! Stay tuned for my next post soon.
