Quote: Answer: For the real player -- the one with the game in his heart, BOTH.
But the vast majority of schools don't have either the level of play or the environment. So sadly.....its a moot point.
NaFo has some outstanding talent and could have an outstanding season if they all played. Commitment by all parties is the key word.
I still wonder about the true legality of telling a player what he can or can't do on his free time.
Re: committment......no its not the key word. There are issues there that go beyond Academy. Multiple talented kids not playing. Again, I said level of play AND environment.
Free time....is the key phrase in your second point. With 10 month Academy the reality will be conflict, not use of free time.
