Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all
Here's a couple actually helpful ones:
-Inform the students to never talk to the drivers about their driving at a competition. Criticism from the other students will destroy your driver's confidence and they will question who to listen to. Let everyone know that your drive coach is the only person to make any driving comments to so everything is filtered and clear when it gets to the students.
-Never be afraid to break out the sawz-all. Most top teams have at one point realized they headed down the wrong path and were smart enough to admit it and srap everything to become competitive. If you aren't willing to do this be prepared to get left in the dust ofthe teams that adapt and improve every event they go to.
-Don't reinvent everything, LOOK AT OLD DESIGNS!!!
