I kept meaning to highlight this comment. This is what its all about on some level. In St. Louis, I had a conversation with some MAR Board members and a FIRST RD about this very topic. I do believe that the FIRST/CD public discourse and FIRST event behavior is going in the wrong direction. Coaches need to EDUCATE their students, parents, and fellow coaches about FIRST principles. The education has to be continuous because our programs keep turning over every 2 to 4 years.
We can't just repeat these principles for the judges. We need to live the principles at competition and within our teams at home. Thanks for making that post.
