Re: Student or Adult Coach
Since I've been involved with my team, we have always had a student as drive coach. That said, going forward we will have an adult coach on standby in the event someone to help manage situations with other adults.
Being a drive coach is a leadership position on our team and we provide leadership training. Dealing with an aggressive mentor from another team is asking a lot from a student so having someone available for them to help in that situation is teaching moment. In most cases, adult drive coaches are doing a great job, but there are cases where they are way to intense and intimidate students.

But should we "discriminate" based on how long your team has been around? If you think about it, FIRST's goal is to inspire students, right?
...But students on rookie and second-year teams, if anything, are in greater need of being inspired.
