Why can there be adult coaches on the drive team?
I am the student coach for our drive team and have always wondered why adults are also allowed to fill the position.

In my opinion when an adult is on the drive team he or she is taking away from a student's opportunity to have a tremendously fun and rewarding experience.

Also, during strategy meetings with alliance members I see students routinely yield to the adult and not participate as actively in the conversation. The adult often seem to dominate the discussion because they are an authority figure.

What is the reasoning behind allowing adults to be coaches?
