Coaching should not be about telling the drivers to do certain things. It is about pointing out things that could possibly be missed, and communicating with the other drive teams during the match.

I know that many teams do not follow this philosophy, and this is fine. This works for us as it inspires the maximum number of students on our team.
Someone should PM Raul that if he wants another championship his coaching experience is useless because he's slow and old. I think he'd get a kick out of it.
