Re: Student Coaches

Greg kinda already mentioned us... but we have a student & mentor switch off. I remember discussing this in previous threads, and I think this switch makes for an amazing dynamic... they switch off for practice rounds and qualifiers... and then one of them takes the helm for finals... our student was at the helm in FLRC and GTR, while our adult coached the Buckeye Finals. The dynamic is great, they watch from the sidelines and keep eachother in check. It gives our mentor a chance to participate, but keeps our students in control, and mentors the students to become greater coaches in the future. It also helps us with more eyes focused on scouting the field.

I would recommend this dynamic to any team out there.

Go Tommy & Larry! woohoo!
