Re: Mentoring Tips and Tricks
I've been working through the same issues as Andrew, and I still don't have many of them figured out. I graduated college, showed up to a meeting, and basically got "oh hey, you can be head coach now!"
I'm still working through the questions Andrew posed, and I'm very interested to read the responses of more seasoned coaches.
What I will add to what Saddrag posted, about: "It needs to be a self-running machine" is that recruitment of good students is key. Once you've got a few good students you can take a step back from doing a lot as a coach, but I think it's important to step up and develop a successful robot if the student involvement isn't there that season.
