[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1164098, member: 55747"] I get that, in fact I could even agree or at least see the argument, but that is not what (i understand) the video says. The vid points out three factors: 1- Long-term repetition of selection 2- extreme consistency of selection 3- high levels of lower cohesion regarding 3 it states: '[I]an international team achieves cohesion from a high level of low cohesion in the provincial and club teams that transfers upwards[/I]'. That is Jaguares. In fact, it's the ideal case: they were 99% cohesive (Cubelli could be selected while playing for the brumbies) while still having a to face challenging competition. And i am not saying he doesn't have a point. What I'm saying is that the evidence presented isnt enough to prove that point. The interesting exercise (imo) becomes: how to structure your competition in order to achieve better results at a national team level? If you have 15 teams you guarantee all the best will play against each other (not really but you get the point) and if you have one team you get perfect cohesion but you would need to find competition outside your borders. The answer obviously lies somewhere in between and depends on quite a few variables, some of which you don't always control (you can have fewer teams if you can play internationally but that depends on your neighbours, at least partially). It's basically a resource allocation problem. Some variables are clear but you've got. [/QUOTE]
