Re: Adults as Coaches on the field
To quickly add to the value of "adult coaches"...
In my experience as a student driver, students are able to see adult mentors model good networking/collaboration techniques with other people that they met a moment before hand. Certainly something we want all of our students to develop as a part of this experience to add to their toolbox. I think that is one of the characteristics of all the WFFAs and WFAs above and absolutely a value I try to emulate as an adult coach now.
Remember, the value of mentors in FIRST is immeasurable.
