Re: Is Women's Lacrosse in Decline in the UK?

As it has been mentioned on this thread and its a general lacrosse topic I wouldnt know where to place this as a new topic so...
Why do the ELA employ two seperate Elite Performance Directors? Is there enough work for them both 40hours per week?
British Cycling, arguably the most successful NGB in-terms of returns in Championships, have just one Elite Performance Director - Dave Brailsford. Now cycling is just cycling whether you are a man or woman and obviously we have two different forms of lacrosse. But the role of the Elite Performance Director is not the role of Head Coach. The job is to ensure that the sport at the highest level is grown and developed to the best of all abilities - this covers every aspect of competitive sport - Preperation of Squads, Fitness & Conditioning, Development of the Elite Level (Coaches & Players), Sports Psychology.
The needs of both sides of the sport should be exactly the same. There should be no differences
