Network, Network, Network! We made a video recently featuring the Hardin Valley RoHAWKtics, and their biggest piece of advice was to
always interact with others.
For Hardin Valley in their rookie year, this meant talking to potential mentors and sponsors until they had a well-structured program running. Though this advice was directed towards
teams starting out, it can definitely be applied
personally.
