I would love to spotlight this whole post. It is a winner.
I agree. I have worked with both Ken and Dylan in elimination rounds of different events. Both were excellent coaches and it was awesome working with them. Both of them brought a something a little different to the alliance. I think it's actually inspiring either way with mentors or students. Working with mentors is definitely a plus, but a lot of times, communication may be better between students of the same age. I still don't know which is better lol. I guess I'm going to say whoever is best for the job and who can inspire their team as well as others.
