Re: Mentors as Drive Coaches?

My opinion is that the coach should be a student.

Having said that, I do wish that FIRST would allow mentors to train student coaches on practice day at a regional. It's very hard for a coach to get training (unlike the drivers). I don't understand why we can't have the two drivers, the student coach and a mentor coaching the coach on the field on practice day.

It's one of those questions that don't seem to get answered, kind of like, "Why are we shutting the playing field down at 4:30 p.m. on practice day when the pits are open until 8:00 p.m.? Meanwhile teams are waiting an hour or more to get 10 minutes on the practice field when we have the most beautiful playing field sitting idle.
