Who is a "cox"?

A cox, short for coxswain, is a person who steers and leads a rowing team in a boat. The cox sits at the back of the boat, facing the rowers, and is responsible for steering the boat using a rudder, setting the rowing pace, and giving commands to coordinate the team's movements. A cox also motivates the crew and ensures safety during the race or training. While the rowers focus on power and technique, the cox plays a vital role in strategy, navigation, and maintaining team rhythm.
