Re: im my teams coach

Take time to relax throughout competition. Competition is even harder when your annoyed and aggrivated the entire time, trust me on this. Make note of how your drive team is doing and feeling, if they have a bad match and are really down about it you still need to review it but be careful about how you do it. This is one of those things where you want to be able to show where mistakes happened, but don't blame your drivers it get's even worse if they're angry with you.

Make sure to take note of when you had good/bad matches and what the differences were why did you have that kind of match. Was it the actual condition of the robot or was it how you talked to your drivers or the objectives you laid out. Competition is about continual improvement and that is what your job is, take lessons from each match and learn from them. Also remember you are supposed to be the charismatic well put together calm person that your team can look to for inspiration and example. You are the end representation of your team that the entire crowd looks to.

P.S. you signed up for the most annoying aggrivating job there is on the team, so on behalf of the rest of us I would like to welcome you to the club.
