That sounds great for the 3 people on the drive team, but to take away a spot on the field for a mentor from a student seems to be counter intuitive to the inspiring students instead of mentors. I understand that mentors put a ton of time and I truly respect them for it, but I don't think they belong on the field (this isn't to say I hate all mentors/teams that have an adult coach, I just feel its better to have a student there)
