This is more of a lesson I learned personally while I was in Atlanta. Definitely shouldn't try to take on multiple jobs for your team. I ended up being in charge of photography and scouting in Atlanta, and spent WAY more time than I would have liked just running around trying to get stuff done. Plus, when you can't sit with your scouts because you're on the field with the drive team, it's hard to actually get scouting done. I noticed that the scout sheets never returned....

With the number of people on my team doing nothing, there's not really a good reason for me having had to cover both and do a mediocre job instead of delegating someone else for one of those jobs and letting both of us do well. But I guess this is what rookie years are for, eh?

I also learned from some of the other guys that you really shouldn't care so much about how you're doing in the matches. If you're winning, that's great, but I saw a lot of guys on my team really upset about our losses when we knew going out there that we weren't really even a dominant force at regionals, and that we would do worse when the average ability of the rest of the competition jumps up a couple notches.
