What to do?

[Raul]

Jason,

You absolutely did the right thing by coming to our pits and asking to talk to me. I thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain what I think happened to cause a misunderstanding. I think sometimes people are offended by the actions of another team or its members and never bother to pursue it to either prevent it from happening again or to find out why it happened.

I do sometimes yell instructions to other drive teams during matches. I feel this is sometimes necessary to stay in sync as an alliance to follow the agreed startegy and to stay informed of the situation. My voice does sound harsh at times and I guess it can sound intimidating. I apologize for that.

During a match, your drive team should not be afraid to tell the other teams if something is going wrong, in that case that your robot had been disabled - they will also have to yell for us to hear them. It is good for alliances to communicate during a match when things are going wrong.

Again, thanks for having the wisdom to try to straighten things between us rather than letting it sit.

I also know that when you yell, your voice is loud but your tone is very respectfull. I have never seen a coach with a better ability to yell with love.

I really appreciate you saying so yourself. I tend to overreact at some things and wanted to make sure that this wasn't the case. I think that the problem was mostly circumstance. Half of my drive team was new this year and the fact that our robot was disabled just added to the stress. I think that your yelling just happened to be the bit that put them over. I think that you came over and personnally apologized really helped us move on with things. Once again, no hard feelings.
