Model Status Report

I have been struggling for a while with regards to how I should design my model on paper. I have ideas in my head with regards to the different aspect that I feel are more important than others; which things I want to be the driving force of my model. The difficulty comes into the actual drawing out a visual representation of what my thoughts are. I guess this is why I was never a good art student while in grade school.
Presently we have a situation on our team where we are graduating a lot of players with experience, talent, and proper attitude towards being a "professional" DI athlete. The environment that we had over this past year is something that we, as a coaching staff, have worked hard to cultivate. Our players became more focused and motivated towards reaching our team goals, they sacrificed more of their time, energy, and other aspects of their life in order to reach their athletic potential. Because of this environment and culture that we had within our team, we were able to have one of the more successful seasons this program has had in about 10 years.
Now we have a gap. There has been a vacuum created with these experienced players graduating from our program. The troubling thing is, I see some of our returning players stepping up and trying to fill the role of those players that have moved on, while I also see many guys thinking that everything will be the same as last fall. What they don't realize is that they need to take a larger role and have a larger investment within our program.
So our ideal future will be that: (1) our current players adjust their attitudes in such a way that they add on to the soccer culture that we had this past year. These players need to buy-in to the fact that being successful players requires more than just showing up during schedules practices and working hard. They need to train like professionals; eat healthy, get plenty of rest, take care of their academic responsibilities, and put in some extra work on their own. This extra work can be a variety of things such as going for a long run, getting an extra session with our strength coach, getting an extra session to improve their individual technique, or just gathering a few guys together and playing a pick up game or some soccer tennis. It could even be that they watch a professional game on tv and try to study the way players play at the next level. (2) From there, our recruiting class must be a successful one. We are in need of a few very talented players that can help replace some of those that we had lost after this past season. We also need to bring in a lot of players, numbers wise, in order to create more depth and competition within our team. The recruiting, which is the focus of my model, will play a crucial role in closing our gap and helping our team to reach our ultimate goal of playing in the NCAA Tournament.
