Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5286569, member: 12088"] I think about this a lot, and not just with regard to Kelly. For an 18 yr old to move far away (like from Indiana, or Maryland, or Minnesota or Ecuador) for college, away from any family support system, this is a real challenge. The coach who would recruit them really needs to provide a support system, especially if he and CD are going to provide a lot of ‘tough love.’ And we see a lot of parents traveling to show their support too. But above all, it requires careful recruitment and genuine insight into the personalities who will thrive in such circumstances. Kelly and Ash are similar because they are exactly those kinds of kids. And they are who Geno looks for. Tough minded young people who thrive on independence and new challenges. They aren’t easy to find, but this is his genius. [/QUOTE]
