For days, I've been wanting to join in on the various topics..... I'm still trying to process this past year, the deficiencies, and who were the primary culprits.
Oh well, that's in the review mirror....but there's no reason why we can't learn a lot from it, and move forward.
I've always thought that you learn more from your failures than from your successes...…if you're really wanting to improve, the inefficiencies are where you direct your focus.
Take what talent you have.....what Can they do......and, what can they Not do...?
Talent is a nebulously quantitative term. Even with proficient/effective evaluation, it's all subjective. The hardest things to properly evaluate are mental discipline, commitment to task, and desire to excel, all based upon the level of competition,....otherwise, you're relying on physical measurables - ie: Look like Tarzan, but may Play like Jane.
If you're making a diametrically opposite shift....
You have to hire coaches who are proficient at the process, target players who fit that scheme, and wholly commit to that ideology.
I sure hope we're there...completely...Cant be half-assed.
There's so much more to say, but...…
Go Dawgs !
