I would contest that the best nations have experts in their own field doing their own roles. There's no point training a shooting coach into being a sports psychologist when expert sports psychologists exist already. You also then create a jack of all trades, master of none. Far better to build a coaching team encompassing experts from all areas, who work as a group. The downside is that it will cost more money but the results will benefit.bryan wrote: most of the best coaches I know were olympic has beens that were sent to school to be sports psychologist, then worked their way back up as a coach, this process has died, so elete coaches will get harder to find.
