Re: Graduating, no team - Advice Please
If you enjoy strategy there is no reason you couldn't just help with that. Find a team that is lacking in that category. All teams have something they aren't good at and there might be a team in your area that could use your help. Finding a team by its weakness is kind of a sensitive thing though. You certainly don't want to call them up and suggest they are poor strategists. Contacting teams in the area and offering to help with strategy would be a good way of meeting a team. Be sure to tell them what you are good at and what your not good at. It might lead to them being more open about their weaknesses. It would be a good way to meet teams and learn about the ways they could use you. Helping with strategy would be a great start with mentoring. It doesn't require as much time throughout the season as other parts of the process. Also, it is possible to help long distance through email if your not really able to be on location all the time. Just be sure to focus on teaching strategy rather then doing strategy. That is one part of mentoring that is really easy to forget starting out.
