Quick question for you Iwen.

The previous U21 coach (mllama) developed a mentor system in which he had 8 or so individuals act as mediators in giving managers advice on how to train their potential NT players and updates were posted off-site. I believe keeping track of players skills and giving managers who may not have the knowledge of training experienced mentors has been beneficial so far. Saying that, it relies heavily on the Australian volunteers having to constantly contact managers and update training results. Will you improve/continue this system or do you have any other ideas on how we can manage and nurture the young Aussie talent?

As I posted earlier, I want to maintain certain aspects of it, but with so many different opinions, I'd like some control of the fresh 18 year olds.

I'm still to decide fully, but I won't be scrapping the mentoring at all.

Gah! I hadn't even realised what thread I was posting in. Apologies all :P

I'll ask a question I meant to ask earlier, though. iwen - if a manager is not training his players in accordance with what you'd like for the U21, what would be your reaction to it? By which I mean, if you wanted them to hammer JS and instead they were doing 1-on-1 training, and were ignoring what you were asking for, but they had the best player in that position anyway, would you drop them for not being a team player or keep them because their skills were better?
