Re: Adult vs. Student coaches

Do you have an adult coach or a student coach? Student. Her name is Rosie.
Why? The X-Cats have always beleived that it is more important to have the learning experience given to the students than have an adult out there just because we wantthe trophy. We are not just driven by our trophy case but by our misson to inspire.
Do you feel it increases your ranking, winning, and success in matches?We got kids who have a good head on their shoulders who handle themselves well and work well with others. So it has helped.
you feel it enhances your team as a whole? Oh most definately.
ou feel it enhances the accuracy, precision, and speed in driving and operation? Actually yes. Our drives teams are close cohesive units (you know what kids call friends) and the coach will take suggestions from the drive team instead of an adult having absolute rule over the student.
What Downsides are there? Well inexperience obviously. Plus kids can be deferred by a "type A adult" who imposes their will upon them even if they have a better perspective how to handle the match.
