Re: Adult vs. Student coaches

We have an adult coach. I on the other hand after being on the team for four years and a collegiate advisor for two years feel that I should be able to coach. Some of the other advisors agree with me and some disagree. I feel that being in a drivers point of view for four years, I know what it's like to have an adult behind you yelling at you and telling you what to do. Also being on the team as a student allowed me to communicate with my teammates on a one to one level instead of a student adult level. I feel that students that were on the team and back to mentor should be allowed to coach the students because of the experience they've had and they know the students better.
