[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 467235, member: 2957"] I want nicer facilities. as much as anything because ... it makes for a greater overall experience for players, fans, etc. But better facilities didn't do a damn thing for Tennessee. They are in the Top 5 of facilities and among the elite in money raising ... and yet they are a total train wreck of a program. I'm also reminded of a book I read recently called The Talent Code. The author provides examples of how a penniless Russian tennis club creates more top twenty women tennis players than the entire United States or how a humble storefront music school in Dallas, TX, can produce a handful of pop stars. The Koreans do it in women's golf. The Brazilians in soccer. It isn't the facilities. In fact, he argues that "better" facilities inhibit the very learning required to perform at a world-class level. Great letter and I'm glad to see TStan engaged. But ... do we REALLY understand how to develop players as if it was a science? Again, things we excel at in the world, we struggle to apply to our own sports team. Just sayin ... [/QUOTE]
