What's the fix?

Terrific assessment and perspective re: solution.

The issue for me is, they won’t. We won’t see that, because the pattern of behaviour consistently tells us that this group will wilt.I can’t trust that they’ll fight tooth and nail for the best outcome and I can’t trust that the coach has set them up for success, because he hasn’t been able to address this pattern of behaviour over an Olympiad.

If we as supporters can't trust the team on field, how do their respective teammates trust each other?
