the drive team puts enough pressure on itself that they really don't need other people doing it for them.

if a coach is applying pressure on a driver, then you really need to find a new coach. This year, the coaches only job should be feeding balls to the human player, and maybe watching the other side of the field to alert the driver to opportunities that may present themselves. all strategy and decision making authority rests within the driver, as he or she is the only one who can truly affect on the spot decisions. trying to have a coach making the decisions and then telling the driver what to do allows for way too much confusion in a match - concentrating all of that strategy within only the driver eliminates that confusion.

don't be hard on the drivers, just trust them to do what it is they do.
