How do other mentors/coaches feel about this?

-Mr. Van

I work with my team 11 months a year. So the additional time is not that big of a deal. Also, I am not the primary "robot mentor". I have three other adults who head that up. I am the teacher that runs everything else. The key, I think, is to have other adults and students to help.

If you really want to be sneaky... find something on the team your wife may want to help with. When she is addicted like you... that is when the real fun begins.
