Summary: If you’re stagnant you cannot grow... (You die).

I don't know why -- actually I do, but I don't understand the complacency with mediocrity. The past four years I have been an active member of the US Skeleton team, but I have also been on the sidelines watching our "progression"... The issues come from both sides, staff and athletes. What is confusing is the over arching goal would give off the appearance that we as a federation have the potential for greatness however we retain and cater to below average performances. 

Professional sport is a business. If you don't perform or meet the minimum standards there isn't a place for you. 

Stop complaining and get to work.
