Re: im my teams coach

Always be an encouragement to your team and alliance teams, so this means don't antagonize when things fail. Speak clearly and effectively to everyone.

Be the extra brain that reminds drivers of things they will forget in the heat of competition, like where to put the square and triangle tubes and how long they have to pin a robot before moving back. You're a coach, don't demand things of your drivers. Let the drivers gel and be one with the robot. You are the voice above them being the wondering eye they can't be.

And always be sure to communicate with alliance partners who you worked well with that you enjoyed working with them. Give them a handshake and a good luck after each match, win or lose. There are some teams that select alliances based on good relationships they made during qualifying.
