Re: Driver Stress?
I've done this too long now to really worry about the match itself. What happens will happen and everyone'll try to do their best job. This year, my drive team is awesome and I appreciate how well my arm operator does his job and how my coach informs me promptly and consistently of what I need to be doing.
The worst part? Remember the movie Spartacus when he's sitting in the wooden hut, unable to see what's going on outside, but hears the clanging of swords as he sits in front of his next opponent? Well, that's the worst part of regionals. At RIT, we weren't queued and I sat next to my drive team for 15 minutes in the pits, hearing the roar behind the curtain in front of us, waiting and waiting and waiting...
