Good meaning people, but the coaching even at what is considered the elite level
is just a step down from the rest of the world. Sitting in a hotel room in Madrid at 2:40 AM where my son is playing in a tournament with Spanish players and coaches and I can't even wrap my head around how are our kids supposed to compete and they go back home and are given American football style coaching and yelled out that paralyzes these kids as they don't want to try anything creative for fear of getting lambasted. Such a different model where creativity and problem solving are encouraged vs have the wrong outcome and it's some 30 year old yelling at you to the point you dont care about anything other than not getting yelled at.

As much as we praise all the places our guys are playing to your point is it really different or improved or is there just more access and all of the outreach to the American market means players are getting more chances. I want to say we have improved but I think your premise is pretty spot on.
