The way I personally see it is that performance, as I've said, is way more than having a medal or finishing in the top five or the top three. If funding stays at the national level only with performance, veut, veut pas, people will choose a coach who's a winning coach. It doesn't mean they're a good coach, because we still have.... The mentality was different 30 and 40 years ago. We still have these coaches around. Yes, they're going to produce little machines or little warriors, and they're going to win medals. However, the destruction that sometimes happens with that will follow the athlete, or the whole team of athletes, for a very long time.
If it's only based on funding, some decisions will be made that are not necessarily the right ones for the well-being of athletes. I don't know how to get it going, but it would be great if we could have funding based on the best performances possible. That could be 20th place. When you go to school and get 80% or 83% on an exam, it's really good. It's the same in sport. It would be great if we could spend a bit more time developing the human being as well.
So, yes, the athlete, but what about the human?
