Quote: What do you perceive are the competitive advantages that CUFC has over CRSA and LCSC in terms of training and player development at the challenge level?
I did not intend to say that there already exists a definite competitive advantage in terms of training and player development. It would seem to me, however, that this is an area where a competitive advantage needs to be established and maintained in order to attract and retain Challenge level players.
At first glance one might answer that the level of coaching expertise and experience constitutes an advantage in training. But I think this needs to be proven over a period of time on a week-in and week-out basis. It needs to be evidenced through performance improvement at the player and team level, but not necessarily in wins. The players need to see that they are benefitting from the training and development. I'm not saying that this is not happening. I think it is. I just don't think enough time has passed to have established this as a clear advantage.
I guess the real proof will show itself at tryouts next Spring.
