Re: Pressure on Drive Team
Well I can tell you that being on a drive team is probably the most demanding, but most rewarding of all the jobs that a team must do to run. While there is always the heavy hold on you from the team to do good and try to win all of your matches, i really dont feel nervous until we hit the finals. When we lose, i fix what i did wrong or what happened to the robot and when we win, the burden of winning is lifted slightly from my shoulders and i am relaxed. As Andy stated
The drive crew is the center of the team, they get the most glory when successful, but also get the most flack when something goes wrong. After coaching on a couple of different teams for a few years, I have learned to never insult or question any decisions the drive crew takes. Being up in the stands watching a match is completely different than being down on the field. Your vantage point is much different, the field is harder to see, and frankly its quite crowded back there...not easy to think straight.
And I believe every single word he said is the truth.
