If you notice, certain countries always seem to be at or near the top of the world rankings. So I started thinking: what ingredients are needed to build a great national team? I came up with a few choices...
-Infrastructure (facilities, training equipment, etc.)
-Coaching
-NT Funding
-Identifying talent at the junior level
-Promoting proper nutrition/exercise
-Playing against other countries regularly
-Bolstering a domestic league with more homegrown talent.
How would you RANK these items in order of importance to build a great national team? Feel free to include other items if you think they're important.
