@thaAdamLittle 30 prob an exaggeration but there is a server rep, storage rep, z hw rep, z sw rep, 6 or 7 different sw brands reps, red hat, plus acquisition reps stay separate for about 2 years. 15-20 on every account but these reps may have 5-10 enterprise acts in a industry vertical
Right answer. There are ~35k roster spots & 9k scholarships. 2nd behind track. So now you have 35k getting coaching, strength training, nutrition planning for the past 40yrs Other countries have pro clubs last 15yrs. BTW the USWNT dominance is fading.
I was thinking about this today. Everyone says pro/rel makes our players stronger, every game counts, but they are all just contributors on mid table teams making millions with no real chance to win/rel and bc they aren’t the stars and relatively cheap no pressure.
@USMNTTAKES One analyst noted after ‘22 that we just aren’t tough. He thought some of that might be due to our “best” players spending all their time in Europe. Older US teams may not have had the most talent but they had more grit and fight in them.
@jordiebarstool If I were SMU and really serious about adding lacrosse, I wouldn’t let the ink on the UVA press release dry before I’m on the phone with Lars.
@RossingtonDC@RandyTreibel@TaylorTwellman I thought the same thing in the 1st half of clip in the second part it looks like he stops/hesitates mid dive probably thinking deflection possible and then continues the dive. Possibly why it looked weak.
@ASPET_MTM@BrianSciaretta@socceramerica@ussoccer@USMNT The only thing I have seen mentioned that makes a slight bit of sense not that I agree with it is as a late game specialist when we are ahead to deal with long balls and crosses in the air..
