Are you ready for Part 2 of this epic story? 

In this episode, you will hear the day-to-day, boots-on-the-ground version of this remarkable story.

 

The lessons shared come from Caleb Pohlman who is one of the mentors on the team that Coach Danny put together. Caleb runs the Drive Team - the team that drives the robot. 

Caleb talks to us about the practical aspect of what it took to train this rookie team for “nowhere land North Carolina” and take them to place top-100 in the world.

What stood out most for me, was how easy and pragmatic his lessons were. It seems that just about any team can truly succeed if they only put their minds to it. It doesn’t matter where you come from, what your experience level is, or what your background is - with the right mindset, the right attitude, and the right guidance - you too can be a champion.
