It all depends on efficient leadership. If the
NSO leaders [board members] are not professionals
they do not know how to allocate
money efficienty or they are careless in
spending it since it does not come from their
pockets. With the same money we could have
produced much better results. (Paid administrative

We have no national teams; we have only
defective national teams. We have no complete
equipment; we have only a few items.
We have no coaches during the entire year,
we have only understaffed coaching. These
are all problems that constrain our training,
and we have to face them somehow. They
[the boards] cut down all activities by half
which results in doing everything ineffectively.
