Re: Adult coach?
On our team, I'm the coach. The year before I joined the team, we had a couple of mentor coaches, but it caused tensions between the drivers, students, and teachers. We eventually decided that it was better to have student coaches. But I understand that sometimes a mentor might be better because they are more commanding. We had a student coach in the past who didn't give orders well enough. It drove the drivers crazy. We've occasionally put an adult out on the field this year during a practice match because we couldn't find one of our drivers, but I just stood at the robocoach station and them came over and coached.
