But, once on the field, even members of our own alliance were a bit pushy, jockying for positions, and in one instance telling my kids what OUR strategy would be. Supposed to be a team effort.

I always find it wiser to defer to experience. And alot of rookies just do their own thing (just driving around and bumping into things aint gonna cut it). If you prove quite effective at executing the strategy and are a flexible talent you may catch their eye.
