IF you think these club owners want to go head to head with YJ
your crazy. They may talk a good game, but NONE of them have the National Recognition yet they YJ has. Will they maybe. It depends how hard they want to work. Only time will tell.
As a premier level or elite level coach, ducking any competition is a sign that the coach is not thinking about improving. When we were coaching, we looked forward to playing the number one team. We lost more often than we won, however when you lose to the best, you know that you are in second place and on the climb. Nothing better for an athlete than to present a clear challenge to raise their game. This is about coaching and inspiring your team.
Maybe we can get directors of tourney to schedule longer games since that seams to be a legitimate complaint. May not be doable with a 1 day event with so many teams.
Perhaps, but at least the thinking is proactive. What would it take to get the Elite Showcase to be a two-day event?
Instead of talking trash get your Club Owner to go KICK THEIR [lacrosse] on the field instead of avoiding them for NO REASON
While we might not have said it the same way :-), we agree with the sentiment.
How about everyone else reading this 2015 thread thinking about showcasing? What is your view? The discussion has been lively and informative.
