Re: Drive Coach Strategies/Ideas
From my experience on a drive team (as I, too, am still learning the ropes of coaching)...
As a driver, I always appreciated being given space from other teams' coaches, both in terms of match strategy and communication on the field. That means that things often work best when each team is performing tasks they are comfortable with. If you come in trying to bend the alliance's strategy to your will and make your partners do what you want, it can get very uncomfortable for the their drivers and coaches, who are put in an unfamiliar position against their will. If you think the alliance really needs to work some way, just make sure you get buy-in. It also means that during a match, I didn't want other teams' coaches talking to me. It's an unfamiliar voice and it's not fun to hear conflicting instructions from your own coach and someone else. Try to keep all the communication among the coaches, and let your fellow coaches interact with their own students. |

.I agree with this, and during comps I make sure to only talk to my driver/operator/hp, and the other teams' coaches. |

Re: Drive Coach Strategies/Ideas
I mean when you're deciding strategy before matches. It's certainly possible to tell your partners "I know what we need to do" and then get half-hearted agreements out of them, but if they don't feel any ownership of the plan, it won't go well. You can walk away thinking things were decided together, and your partners can walk away thinking things have been decided for them. At least in my experience, the best thing to hear from another coach is "What do you like to do?"
And to piggyback on a well-deserved shout out from Tungrus, Clint Bollinger from Team 2337 is always one of the best to work with. |
