cox
Shell's stern voice
Cox is a shortened form of coxswain, the person who steers a racing shell and directs the crew's rhythm and strategy.
In rowing, the cox sits facing the rowers, calling out stroke rates and tactical adjustments during races.
As a verb, to cox means to serve as coxswain: She coxed the varsity eight to three consecutive championships.
The role requires a light body weight and a commanding voice rather than rowing power.
