I agree that it's a tough one. I would just say to John—and this is why I liked the first comment—that I like the idea that we try to get the early entry coaches, so that it's not so painful on them financially and time-wise. I know there are some things they have to learn, but they can learn them, if they're going to continue up the ladder, or learn more as they go up the ladder. I think that's important.
It is a tough career. People have to have a love for the sport. I make more money now as an administrator than I ever did as a coach. That's not necessarily right, because I coached at the highest level. It's a career that has to become more of a priority, and not just at the top levels.
The coaches' association asked me to do a study when I was a national coach. The life of a national coach was three and a half years back then. That doesn't even get you through a quadrennial. There were so many things pulling at them, from family to wages to the amount of time and effort. Like many of you, we never knew what a calendar was: you had to play, you had to coach, and that was it.
There are so many challenges. As John said, it's not just for the high-level coaches; it has to be at every level. We have to address every level as we go up, not just the high level. In many ways, we are addressing the high-level coaches.
