I like Finland and Germany, I have visited both and competed in both. I would hesitate to draw anything as a 'system' from any country. My experience is that this is usually cherry-picking examples and cases retrospectively and then labelling it as systematic.

My experience on the ground is that things are more fluid- chaotic even- especially where individual athletes and families are concerned.

Human beings crave simple solutions to complex problems. 10,000 steps, drink 8 glasses of water. Unfortunately those rarel if ever exist. In reality, small, incremental improvements are longer lasting and more sustainable but those don't sell as well on YouTube or TikTok.
