Re: How do you keep your FIRST team a TEAM?

As Ed mentioned, everyone has an investment in the team to call it their own and the first step is to have high standards and expectations from the very beginng and be organized. We make sure applications are filled, applicants are interviewed and then re-iterate to all that this program is like a scholarship. You have to prove to us that you deserve to be on the team and it's a privilege. Minimal criterias are a must to establish a baseline of commitment. 6 weeks is not alot of time so we need everyone to do their share.
