Re: Drive Coach Strategies/Ideas

Fluid coaching. Work with your drive team when they practice; make call outs and ask them what information they want to hear during a match. Some drivers like time call outs, some just prefer score call outs.

Keep an eye on everything that isn't your team's robot - let your driver worry about driving, your job is to keep them informed about everything that isn't your robot's direct path.

This. There's such a difference between projecting your voice and straight yelling at the drivers. Yeah, it's impossible to hear behind the glass sometimes, but it can get stressful when you're focusing on the robot with people in both ears yelling and the music.

One of the best coaches I've seen was the drive coach from 3612, the Gearhogs. He was, by far, the most calm coach, and had this loud but soothing voice and would always stay positive and point out positives at the end of every mach to his alliance partners.
