Re: The Quest for Einstein
Not viewing the elite teams (or regionally elite teams) as being spoiled, but realizing that they have something special... and that you can replicate it. Maybe it'll take a few years... maybe it'll take more mentors/parents/teachers... maybe it'll take more resources... but those are things you can attain with time and effort.
For example, elite teams have gotten past other teams having more/bigger/better sponsors (resources or financial), and have spent a lot of time over several years getting that level of sponsorship.
The difference between viewing an elite team as an 'out-group' and as a 'reference-group'.
