EXACTLY, John. There's no "program" or group initiative in Texas for those who truly desire to get to all-around "Black Belt" level...
I know, even with acute desire and laser-like goals, we may never rise to the level of 148, 118, and 1477... but, our quest to get there SHOULD NOT be subordinated to someone else's "vision" of prioritizing our finite capacity/resources to elevating generic teams just for the sake of elevating generic teams...
