Re: Pressure on Drive Team

as a driver... i knew that there would be a substantial amount of pressure to perform well at regionals. however, i was also prepared to take this pressure, no matter how much was set upon my shoulders. upon signing up for this position, i knew that pressure would come my way, and i was willing to take it all.

i am fortunate enough to be on a team where my peers are more encouraging rather than being negative after a bad match. they suggest better ways of doing things, as opposed to trashing the way things were done before. being a driver for four years, my mentors know exactly how much pressure I can take from them, and they try to avoid pushing me over this limit.

also, i am not only recieving the pressure, but i also tend to pressure my team mates, and especially the rest of the drive team. teamwork is necessary when driving, and i expect the arm operator to do exactly what we're being told to do, and not doing whatever he wants.

all in all, pressure from our peers and mentors is needed to perform well. pressure to an extent is good, and it keeps the drivers on their toes. however, once a person pushes the drive team over the edge with this pressure, then things can turn ugly pretty quickly, and this should be avoided (afterall, we are here to have fun arent we? )
