Re: Student or Adult Coach
We've been running student coaches since 2011. It works. It just takes some additional effort to ensure that the drive team dynamic is good and strategy is adaptable on the fly. We have a strategy leader/lead drive team mentor position that trains the drive team and mitigates any nonsense in alliance strategy. We also go over the backup plan with the drive coach for every match.
Having a student coach puts a little more weight on the drivers and takes a lot of time and practice to get a student to the point where they can run the drive team effectively. But as long as we can field a competitive student coach, we probably will continue to do so.
