Best thing to do is be aware and be prepared.

This could not be any truer. I've always told any student who wants to join the drive team that they need to be prepared to stand for nearly the whole day, scream instructions to each other and alliance members, and also not be surprised if they get a short lunch break, if one at all. I did four years as a drive team member: Human player rookie year, Driver my junior and senior veteran years, and Coach my college freshman year. Each position has its stresses, but I can definitely say that being on the drive team can be just as fun as it is stressful. It would be awesome to coach again, but we prefer to leave that position to students at this point in our team history and philosophy.
