LARC Coxing Development Programme
If you are interested in learning more about our Cox Development Programme to support Recreational Rowing and Racing then please get in touch so we can add you to our waiting list. The course aims to start with basic steering, fully supported by a cox coach in the boat and also alongside in a rib.
The Cox
Zoe de Toledo – super-cox, Olympic silver medalist, World Champion, Boat Race survivor, medical student, coxing educator and mince pie connoisseur. She’s someone I’ve wanted to meet for years, and she totally lived up to expectations.
We had a great chat about all things rowing and coxing, and in under an hour managed to pack in Zoe’s thoughts on:
Passing the time in lockdown
How coxing helps her as a doctor
Her career progression as a cox
Why coxing is about more than just being small and shouty
The infamous Boat Race 2012
The Rio Olympics and crew cohesion
The mystery of the perfect crew
Mince pies and the abominable love child of Father Christmas and Percy Pig
If you’re interested in learning more about coxing from Zoe, check out Chattercox – she’s also on Twitter and Instagram at @chattercox1.
