for coaches

Curious about how to coach?  Here are some tips to get started:

1. Learn the "Rules" of the event. Often, for build events, the winning teams are merely those who follow the rules. 

2. Help the students divide up the work into reasonable portions and document a study schedule.

3. For build events, google your event and watch videos or make notes.  

4. For study events, your main job as a coach is to administer practice tests at logical intervals.  Remember that they are getting graded from the starting point of ZERO, not 100%.  Help them develop a strategy for their cheat sheets, and revise it as they learn more.
