Author's Note from JP Sekulich: My return to coaching coincided with a return to education. As a PhD student in the field of Education, I'm interested in Educational Leadership, Organizational Theory, Organizational Behavior, and Industrial Psychology. After taking a few classes, it became even more clear to me that rowing clubs are the perfect lab for studying these concepts discussed in the scientific journals. It was also clear to me that most coaches I spoke with had some form of coxswain evaluation, but it was usually of the ad hoc variety, even if it was a measure that had been used for many seasons. The inception for this paper was a graduate level survey design class, where the co-author and I thought it would be interesting to approach this casual but wide-spread practice with a more scientific method. Here's our contribution to the coaching field in an effort to further professionalize the occupation and raise the standard of rowing everywhere. The conversation is never fully complete; please contact me with any questions or comments. Also, please feel free to use the measure, but please credit the authors with citation where appropriate.
