Re: Pressure on Drive Team
I think that the drive team has a lot of pressure put on them
The pressure comes from everywhere. From themselves, to show that theyre worthy enough to be part of the drive team and to win the match. From other teammates, to win the match. From other teams. Even if the team is supportive and encouraging, there will always be that peer pressure put on the drive team. And it is extremely easy to sit in the stands and criticise the matches. But, then its like what Ken said earlier, we fail as a team and we succeed as a team. I don't think everything should get blamed on the drive team. I know that I have told my team a few times that no matter what happens, the driver is not to be blamed if something goes horribly wrong. Its the whole teams fault.
But then again when you choose your drive team, you pick the people who will not freeze under pressure and know how to deal with it if they screw up.
