Re: On field Coach - Student or Adult

We use student coaches, but there was one year when I acted as the drive team coach. That works out pretty well in hindsight, because now I'm able to prepare a student to be the drive coach much better than I could if I didn't have that experience.

Preparing the drive team coach is a really important piece of the puzzle for a team that wants to be competitive. It is a bigger job than it looks, and there are a number of things about it that make it very challenging for a student. I would agree that it's a great experience for a student to have.
