My Blog: Starting a Competitive New Team

[JamesBrown]

Hey guys,

I am starting a new team this year and have decided to blog about the experience. I have been participating in FIRST for 7 years and have developed a good idea (in my opinion) of what it takes to build a successful team. I have never been in the position to guide a team in what I believe is the right direction to be consistently competititve over the long term. Now I am in a new location (my previous teams all competed in NY and New England) and am ready to start a new team.

I am hoping the blog will serve a couple of purposes, first to keep me honest about what is done, and what needs to be done, and second to be a resource for our team and any others to look at and see what worked and what didn't.

I would appreciate any feedback from the community either on the blog or in this thread (or via pm, email, carrier pigeon etc.)
