His point, you don’t double dip at the highest level you dilute. College is a full-time grind. Pros are a full time grind. Trying to run both is just ego pacing… and the wheels always come off.

It’s a shame that Jerry and Diljeet think they can pile on more just to feed their own egos, because high performance doesn’t reward ego, it exposes it.

Henes coaches pros.
Oh, no! Your attempt to shame BYU's and Oregon's coaches backfired, didn't it?

And her Pros are tanking. 😂😂😂😂 you proved the point of Smith
I see no shade. he's just talking about himself and his own experiences coaching both collegiates and pros - every coach is different and has their own unique setup. his just wasn't viable for both.
that said, I can see Diljeet Taylor coming to a similar crossroads, especially as the '28 Olympics approaches.

It’s actually disrespectful to think you can do both.
The OP, in love with a tired expression, sorely misuses it. It is possible to express your own limits without criticizing anyone else. He felt he was short-changing both pros and collegians, so he shifted to just pros. But he clearly regrets the decay of his program, which henceforth looks to no longer be a title contender under Cornpone.

He's only talking about himself here. It could be extrapolated to others in similar circumstances, but that is unlikely his intent.
Perhaps he would shrug if others made those connections, but he's certainly not doing it himself here.

It’s actually disrespectful to assume others are as flawed as yourself.
Why is this calling how Dijeet? I am evidently uninformed since she not only has athletes who do well in college but they continue to do well under her as pros.

Let’s be real—if you’re a pro with medal ambitions, you don’t train under a fill in, part time coach who’s juggling another job. That’s why the group is isolated, stagnant, and ignored by top athletes. It’s a dead end at 4,000 feet.

You are rather snarky for someone who has never heard of Park City.
