De money wasn't spent on preparation.
well said Tallman
Ppl need to stop talking bout stuff with little to no info.
We are a land of fight down and speculation.
The ladies did not get proper preparation at all.
Granted the assoc. is not the only party to blame in all of this and the internal struggles with the players which is well documented also has a part to play in all of this; BUT again, the poor preparation over the past couple years surrounding this program has always made it an uphill struggle for these ladies.
Ms Morace had a decent looking program in place wherer the younger players were being involved in the training/process.
And even with her gone, there needed to be a succession plan. How can we expect to rely on the same core of players for 2-3 campaigns especially.
Injuries, form, discipline issues all could have been alleviated with better continuity within the pool of players (which in itself is sthg we obviously need to look at to keep the younger core going)
There were a few younger players(still not enough), used in previous tournaments and qualifers within the last campaign and this one ----but we didnt see them later down in the qualifers and even the tournaments before (only a couple maybe were there)
We can't expect them to produce miracles if they are not training regularly AND playing at a high level consistently.
If we want to develop the program, we need to have that player pool of ALL foreign based players in college and clubs abroad(look at Jamaica as an example ---most of their team is playing regularly and based in colleges/clubs abroad or within the youth system and are active)
Our very own WOLF league needs vast improvement in order to be deemed a success.
We can't have a league with just 5-6 games and poorly run at the same time.
Expecting success from this model is unfair to the players involved if they are not given the respect and resources due.
