Underperforming places in fencing?

[PeterGustafsson]

Hi!

Fencing is a sport which requires quality coaching. I'm not all that sure per capita success is a good way to look at things. It may, however, be a good place for a coach to find a new job.

That might very well be so (it is also true for several other sports, BTW). But in that case, design a better metric which relates competitive success to some (relatively) easily accessible quantitative input values!

#FIE points/# of coaches, both values for an entire country?


Have a nice time!

There is, however, a school of thought that regards practising too much as cheating.
Personally, I wish this attitude would return. I think the footstamping, referee quesioning, win at all costs attitude is pretty disfiguring.

And goodness knows there can't be an attitude in between, because that would fall in that dirty word of a color: gray.
