Hello everybody.
I am going to run for re-election to the U21 manager position. I believe that I can bring all the qualities to the position that most seem to be looking for.
I have spent the past two seasons studying opponents and putting tactics into play that try to maximize the strengths of the U21 Canadian players and exploit the weaknesses of the opponents. I like to try to be somewhat unpredictable for opposing managers and not just play a Look Inside or Run and Gun offense all the time for example.
I believe the team has the potential to advance to the second round of qualification, but it will be difficult. The Americas have many very strong quality teams that we must face in qualification. I think that with my previous 2 seasons experience I could guide the team through this opening qualification round.
I have spent many hours studying opposition and scouting players over the past 2 seasons so I have a strong base to begin from when it comes to this team. I currently have information on approximately 75 players aged 19-21 that would be eligible for the U21 team. This number would grow with information on the newest draft class that I would obtain if re-elected.
I have tried to be in regular contact with managers of players that have been progressing towards the U21 team over the past 2 seasons and gladly always offered training advice to any owners out there that have had questions.
I like to think I have had a good working relationship with the current national team manager as we have regularly shared information and ideas in order to try to improve both the national team and U21 team.
I think that I have done a good job in the past and with a strong knowledge base and understanding of the U21 team program I believe that I can be the best person for the job. I am dedicated to this game and spent countless hours on it. (Just ask my wife or kids! :) I will continue to put in time and work towards imrpoving the U21 team and Canadian community and player pool as a whole if I am re-elected.
