What's wrong with that. Invite your school's best athletes to try out.

FIRST is about inspiration and changing society.

One of my favorite mentoring memories was a "jock" who attended a FIRST off-season competition because his girl friend was on the team. He got hooked on FIRST, became one of our better drivers, and went on to tech school after graduation. I don't think he had any real direction besides sports before he joined our team.

If we can get a "jock" to think like a "techie" or "nerd", that's changing society!
