Re: Role of coach?
I think that one of the coach's most valuable assests happens on the field at the end of the match. Congratulating the other alliance teams... win or lose.
I always try and come over to the other teams and pick something out that they did that we appreciated. Find something positive. it is ALWAYS there.
Celebrate your alliance. If you get the chance ... go and congratulate the opposing alliance too...
You need to model the behavior that you want your team to exhibit.
One of my favorite memories started last year in our last match in Las Vegas.
Our alliance won and everyone was celebrating. I started to walk to the other end to congratulate the other teams and stopped and looked behind me. No one was following. I stopped and gathered them up...
We all went over and everyone had a great time.
This year in Seattle, again we win the last match... we go out to celebrate...but this time... my team beat ME over to the other side.
I could not have been prouder.
