Make darn sure you have made your gear as rodent proof as possible. And pfds have a lifespan, no matter how much you love it. It is no fun to reach in to grab a swimmer and pull in parts of a pfd!

Point towards the danger and pull away 
Seems simple but can be a tough concept for new rowers.
I would say to “pull away from the line to danger.” Some people hear pull from the danger and just pull straight upstream away from the danger. Your goal should be to get away from the path to danger.

Don’t make excuses for failures or blame the crew, own them and learn from them.
Take care of your feet & hands. Any injury there will limp along until the season is over and you can be dry for an extended period of time.

Drop a knee while paddle captaining and dropping into hole/steep pour-overs to avoid getting guide launched out of the boat. Because it’s embarassing to call paddle commands from in the river.

That cataraft you bought with the intention of running harder river day trips needs a full length floor when you take it on a chill multi-day trip. At least, if you wanna keep your phone.
