And you'd have people who have different self-interests kind of doing their own thing.
And, you know, a guy or a coach saying, well, I'm the person who can get your child a tryout to this college or get him a tryout over here in Europe.
That culture has to end.
It's always going to be there.
But there has to be an effort from Canada soccer down.
And I do believe in my own way, and people can certainly argue this, I look for a top-down approach, which is, hey, this is our philosophy in development.
We want to work together to address all the needs.
And I've spoken to many coaches across the country in terms of provincial associations.
This is our philosophy.
This is how we're developing.
This is our development pathway.
Jesse Marsh is trying to take a lead with that, speaking to coaches in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, here in Ontario.
There is a desire to do that because the residue, it only stays and sticks if everybody believes in the same thing.
If they don't and people are out doing their own things, and there's never, in a country of our size, this is the issue that we have with grassroots sports, especially when we talk about the Olympic movement in our country.
is that sometimes that communication isn't there.
You hope after a once-in-a-lifetime, or you hope it's not once-in-a-lifetime, but it's such a memorable summer that coaches across the pyramid, in both the men's and the women's game, can find a level of cohesion because that's what the best countries have.
That's what France has, and that's what Argentina has, and that's what England has, and Spain obviously has.
If you can build that infrastructure, that foundation, that bedrock, the thing kind of takes on a natural momentum on its own.
And I do believe that, and there are good people, believe me, there are good people across the pyramid.
I've spoken to so many who've been involved in this game for so long.
