Re: Drive Coach Strategies/Ideas
From my experience on a drive team (as I, too, am still learning the ropes of coaching)...
As a driver, I always appreciated being given space from other teams' coaches, both in terms of match strategy and communication on the field. That means that things often work best when each team is performing tasks they are comfortable with. If you come in trying to bend the alliance's strategy to your will and make your partners do what you want, it can get very uncomfortable for the their drivers and coaches, who are put in an unfamiliar position against their will. If you think the alliance really needs to work some way, just make sure you get buy-in. It also means that during a match, I didn't want other teams' coaches talking to me. It's an unfamiliar voice and it's not fun to hear conflicting instructions from your own coach and someone else. Try to keep all the communication among the coaches, and let your fellow coaches interact with their own students.
