Re: Young Leaders in FIRST

For 971, it was getting notice within the school, getting mentors and getting sponsors were probably some of the hardest things that I've done. When Drew and I stepped up as team leaders, we had no official sponsors, no staff advisor and one parent mentor. In addition, most of the school didn't know we existed.

I had to quickly learn, along with the rest of the team, how to court sponsors, work with the school administration to set up activites and very quickly find a staff advisor.
I'm extremely proud of everything we accomplished that year, as well as how enthusiastically and successfully the current leadership has continued to improve the team.

As mentioned in another thread, I am now in the process of writing a team leadership handbook, detailing everything we learned that year about running a sucessful team. I'm extremely proud of everything we accomplished that year.

As one last note, I define success not as having a good robot. To be fair, our robot was very uncessful in competition. On the flipside, the team had the best spirit that I've ever seen, and more inspired students (and more students) than in previous years.
