Hello all,
I'm not big on the speech thing, but I figured I'd give a quick note. Most of what I have had to say can be found in the debate thread where I've answered a couple of questions.
I would like to see the Canadian U-21 team be at the top of the national rankings and win a title. I would do everything I can to try to accomplish this. Realistically it would be difficult with some very strong countries to compete against that have far superior numbers, such as Spain, Italy, US to name a few. To achieve this level of success it would need to have several very dedicated Canadian managers that could provide quality young players and train them for several seasons from age 18 through 21 to provide enough depth and variety to use different tactics throughout tournaments and games.
If I am elected to coach the U21's I would hope that I can use the experience I have had over the past 3 seasons now in addition to help from other dedicated intelligent Canadian coaches to put the best possible team on the court for each and every game. I would hope that these players would then be able to go on to improve and aid our full national team throughout competitions during future seasons.
