I also want to be carful that an impossible standard is not set. I know i have made some big mistakes in driving and am thankful my team mentors and captains understand it cant be perfect.
Since we practice in the cafeteria one requirement is that if you want to do drive practice unless you have a valid excuse, you need to help setup the cafeteria. Its like 20 tables that need to be moved to the sides of the room, chairs need to be cleared out. Practice then everything goes back in that order. If I ever get a complain from janitors that it was done wrong drive practice for that day is canceled. We are getting a new space though so I will need to work something new out. The way I set the level of commitment needed is I sit down first thing and I discuss the scope of what driving is. Being a competition driver is saying "yeah all the work the build team, the programmers, all the hard work of the team it is now on me to execute our designed strategy to the fullest extent of my ability." When you make a mistake someone is going to be unhappy because that is hard work not being utilized correctly. The pressure is set from day one.
