"You can do this." Every player in a strong program that makes the varsity team has the potential for excellence. Not every player can or will choose to make the sacrifices to do so.
A top ten US team (Minnesota) traveled to Japan to face Japanese college teams. They got smoked. The Japanese coach suggested they play against some high school teams. The American coach could have been insulted. But he accepted that challenge. "We went 9-4." Sacrifice is not for everyone. Neither is humility.
If you know what is required then you face choices. Is it worth it? Do I have the physical, mental, and financial resources to 'go for it'?
What is excellence worth to you?
