One of the biggest things is this. I know that on my team the mentor(and student) leadership spend a lot of time(at least I did) planning what the team schedule and build season will look like. I continued this process every day of the build until we finished Champs and lessons learned (lot of scrapped plans!) . Currently, we are in the middle of planning an improved training program based upon student feedback this year. (implementing lessons learned!)

But the biggest thing is continual planning.

The program will NOT go to plan. But its how you continue to plan is what separates you from the team that struggles. One of my favorite quotes is from Eisenhower:
"Plans are nothing; planning is everything"
