Advice for transition from student to mentor, too involved?

[Briansmithtown]

Its a hard translation from student to mentor... if you were on the drive team, now if you go to a regional with your team, your going to be watching what you were doing and get a sense of loss. Also it becomes very difficult when it comes to out of state regionals and even championships... I was lucky that when my team went up to Troy, I was on spring break. If they went to championships, I wouldn't be able to afford it and lose the days at school. Its a difficult change, but remember, if you do go back and mentor, this is for the kids, so make sure your not getting too involved.
