Re: Coaches/Mentors on the Drive Team

Totally understand where you are coming from and can see both sides. When my drive team lacks direction, I make sure a mentor is down there (myself or other) when the kids have a good handle on it, I leave it to them. I've also resolved inter-team issues where my kids were insisting on something that didn't make good tactical sense (egos instead of strategy...it happens). In the end I defer to Paul and Bob as far as a proven record of success and some solid teams. (Congrats Mr. Steele...you and your team set a pretty high bar that I'd like to reach as our program matures).

Each team is going to have their own approach...as long as it's legal, and it's for the good of the team...it's the right decision.
