FRC: Long days, short weekends, and fitful sleep

[SenorZ]

Entering my second year as a coach/mentor/teacher and I have all the apprehensions of a second date... not a rookie anymore but definitely NOT feeling like a veteran!

What I've done in the "off" season:
- bought a bunch of the tools we didn't have enough of last year
- moved to a larger space with nice big flat tables
- recruited some new, motivated students and let the flakes slip away
- developed an immunity to fatigue and iocane powder

Any tips from other mentors/nerd-wranglers out there to make things smoother the second time around?
