Best Practices After Kickoff

**Written by FIRST Staff, 2015 Dec 14

We’re using today’s blog to let you know that GameSense’s next “Behind the Lines” episode is this Wednesday, 9:00pm EST, 12/16/2015.

Their guest is Ken Stafford from FRC190, an original and sustaining team. The show will focus on a great way to maximize your team’s effectiveness in the first few days after Kickoff. Ken will cover game and strategic analysis, brainstorming, and the creative process.

I feel that it is important for every team to have read this, some may complain that it is long, but it is worth it! (Thank you 148)

Not quite. The third, and most important, step is to talk about the manual with other people who have also read it.
