Re: On field Coach - Student or Adult

I don't see a problem either way with a student or mentor coach but...

At one of our district events we picked a team based on someone else's data. when we tried to talk strategy, their student drive coach started speaking down to two adult mentors, one was ours the other was our first pick and we respected. I think that when it comes to strategy, especially in eliminations, an adult mentor should be there to at least keep the students under control. The student drive coach left a rather sour taste in our mouths about the team. Along with other teams who saw the conversation go on.

I understand the experience it gives students but if they are going to coach they need to know how to speak to adults coaches on other teams in a respectable manner.
