No one cares about glue sticks. We like basketball, not glue

On a serious note, to the serious candidates I have a question.

Everyone involved in the National team has begun to point out that the prospects we have coming up through the system right now are a little weaker than past years. Where has our program gone south in this regard and as U21 manager, what would you do to turn this trend around?

Hi. My full name is Adchester, but you can call me Adc. I know that a lot of you are going to vote for coco and that is fine. Your vote is your vote. Yo-......just kidding. How about we stop copy and pasting the same thing in every thread?

Edit: oops, that was meant for Mickey, not Coco. My bad

Thoughts exactly

Everyone involved in the National team has begun to point out that the prospects we have coming up through the system right now are a little weaker than past years. Where has our program gone south in this regard and as U21 manager, what would you do to turn this trend around?

Partly this is a result of cross-training's effects now being felt with the new age classes coming up. We can't control that aspect, but neither can other countries' teams...so we've got a wash, there. 21 year old players, even if optimally trained, will be 10% weaker from now on.

My observation is that after having quite a few really excellent age classes in a row. we're seeing a slight lowering in the number of optimally trained prospects. I absolutely do not think our program has "gone south" with this. Like I said in the previous post, the offsite scouting is doing their important part of the job as well as possible...every worthy rookie and player 21 and under in the whole US is identified and their owner contacted within a week or two each season. For a specific action I'd like to revamp and freshen up the stickied onsite posts as coach and tout the benefits to lower division managers of training a U21 player. But all in all, the number of trained prospects will fluctuate and I have faith that the current scouting and outreach efforts are the way to go.

So my direct answer to you is this: I see the coach's job is far as prospects is to maintain contact with the scouts and owners as well as possible for directing training for the best possible U21 players. That is what I'll do as coach, as how well I do this is the most important thing I can do for encouraging quality prospects.

Since with the Level of NT and U21 are different, how will you guys *make* the U21 Players *suitable* for the NT? Trying to say what will happen if the U21 Guys are not being trained properly? How will you guys show you got what it takes to BE the manager? Gamplanning? Players and skills and tactics debates? Will yall be taking some ideas from the Community? Or will stick with the Usual Dominant LI?

Hey tough - I think I've answered your NT vs U21 question as well as I know how in my first post in this thread. If that doesn't do it for you let me know.

I mentioned in my speech how I would like to add more details and data than has been done in the past in setting up game planning threads off-site. But I don't have any changes in mind as far as involving the community in game discussions. We've had most of our coaches do a great job encouraging planning dialogues and thoroughly and openly probing the options available. I certainly hope to continue that with little change - the more eyes and viewpoints that are available, the better informed the coach's decisions will be.

Hey tough, sorry buddy but I'm not running this season haha.

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck, or 100 duck-sized horses?
