The coolest part of FIRST is that we celebrate others successes. We know how much blood, sweat, and gears, it takes to develop the robot that when we see others do well, we are happy for them. Likewise, when we a team win an award, such as the chairmans, we know how rewarding it is for the time and resources committed in outreaches and helping/inspiring others.

This will be my 7th year as head coach. My kids are graduated. What drives me to put in the 1500 hours a year is simply the people. When a season is over, when the next kick-off starts, the last robot fades into memory. BUT, the people I get to meet, work with year after year, the teams I get ot know, and the lasting relationships. that is why I stay with FIRST. I can always build robots in my workshop at home. But it's more fun doing it with others!
