Hey,
I'm running for re-election. I think we had an extraordinarily successful run the past two seasons. A lot of people put in a lot of effort for our World Championship. There are two areas I think we could improve on:
1. Scouting. I think the work the scouts have done over the past several seasons is the main reason we've been so successful. We had the best team in America's by a mile two seasons ago, and a top 2 team last season at Worlds. Without the scouts and the managers that trained these guys, we definitely don't win worlds. Other countries will continue to improve in this area, so we have to as well. I would like to try to recruit more scouts. The more prospects we can cover, the better chance of one of them being useful for the U21 team. I am going to take a more active role in scouting the best guys for Worlds teams.
2. Community Involvement. I really spent much of my time scouting other opponents, bb-mailing our prospects managers, and posting on the offsite tactics discussions; didn't do much in the way of community involvement. Community Involvement is important for the future of the team. I think the PR write-ups we posted here on-site were fun. This isn't something I could personally see myself doing each week, but I'd be more than happy to write one if others would as well. Something I could do each week is to name an American player MVP of each week, and post on-site. The goal here is to give the guys who train U21 players some publicity. Hoping this rewards the managers a little more, as well as adds incentive for managers to train and maintain game shape on their players.
Thanks to everyone who votes for me, I'll do my best to keep our run going. Go USA!
