Re: Adult vs. Student coaches

I became our teams coach this year after the past few years alternating students and adults as coaches. We seem to have found the middle by having the college student, because the students can listen to them better because of a smaller age difference, but they are an adult and thus can keep cool under the pressure. We have a lead strategy student who meets with the other student drive teams to figure out the strategy and i just put it to work.
