On our team, (Team 384)... we had a 4 year veteran driver who left for college... and left our team with no drivers. So i was a rookie driver my senior year last year and had no experience on the playing field. I was nervous at times and didnt know what to do. But a big boost of confidence came to me after watching every single regional webcast to understand how to play the game. This definitely improves ur driving skills and allows to think better and faster. So we didnt do so well at the VCU regional... we won 2 matches and lost the rest. WE got picked into the quarterfinals but lost the arm operator do to the "gastro" virus outbreak (if u have heard about it). But we didnt get past the quarterfinals with a replacement driver. When the champs came around (no sicknesses, thank god) but we all drove a lot better after watching all those matches. At champs we won 3 matches and lost 4 (the 4 losses were very very close to wins) We had more confidence on how to play da game better and strategize more.
