Row, Row, Row – Are you going where you want?
I want to look at rowing today; cross compare a rowing team with life. In a rowing team it can have many different formats, in this we will be looking at a team with a coxswain (pronounced cox’n). If you aren’t familiar with the role of a coxswain they are the one responsible for the…
