Seeing up close how much discussion takes place with our U21 squad the big difference I see is that there are 3-4 official coaches that help G. I think moving forward we’d benefit from announcing some managers that can officially be on our USA NT staff. There were weeks where we had quite a bit of discussion and some weeks it was silent. I updated the depth chart every Friday morning and usually tagged everyone on discord about the initial thoughts for the games. A collaborative effort is desperately needed. It’s also worth mentioning that it appears that veteran managers are backing away from involvement in the game which has also hurt.

I think the key is communicating with those managers on where we see the NT going. Obviously I’ve only served in 1 term that ended in a gold and then disappointment. Keeping more tabs on some of our up and comers can keep those managers invested in the long term development of NT players. That can also draw them into game planning and overall discussion about where we are going. We discover 5-7 new players that weren’t in the pipeline previously and so we had no input in the direction of our builds. I’ve noticed there was quite a bit of overlap in a lot of our builds which limits our options as well.
