These are the best and most active players we have right now..
In order to compete in a tournament like the mosconi cup a player has to be active in playing numerous tournys all over. Be tournament tough.
To have players play that are not playing on a regular schedule here and there is asking for trouble. Especially when you go into a hostile environment like this is. allot of cheering and very emotional with the fans.
Playing regularly against tough competition kind of thickens your skin. You get so you can get down and focus with almost any distraction.
That's why it just doesn't work well sometimes to pull some of the great talent that we have in the USA off the bench, not playing regular events, and try to have them play at their highest level possible. Many of these players have jobs and just can't get to as many events as needed to get to their highest level.
I look at this years players and these guys are all out there playing in everything they can. Very professional in the way they handle themselves and they will all give it their all. They all know what it takes to be ready to play and they will make all efforts to be ready having a very capable Captain in Mark Wilson, that has been there before , to help them prepare for what is to come.
What most people don't know is these big events are not won on that day. They are won months before with continual practice and competition. The getting ready part is so huge. If your homework or road work should I say, is done correctly,and you have one shot to make for all the bananas, this shot will be much easier to execute.
We need players that are out there getting it done everyday, every week and every month.
That's what it will take to get it done a the Mosconi Cup.
Will it happen? It will be fun to watch for sure.
But personally I know most of the players and I like our chances because these guys know how to get it done.
