Bike industry failing?

It fascinates me to see where this conversation has gone. Substitute wrestling, or any other school based team sport practiced by individuals, and ask yourself if it some of these comments makes sense.

NICA is not just for beginners, and coaching is not for everyone.

My dad was a xc and track coach for 30+ years, there were very specific fitness related items to grow on and to coach to. Does nica have that for training? The southeast portion of Pennsylvania Nica is almost as big as the whole New Jersey league and none of the coaches had an answer to the training aspect of it, so maybe I missed something?

This is all constructive, the HS drop off is real. When Mike did the first Fair Hill rally (enduro format) it was the most well attended HS event by probably factor of 5, pretty easy to figure out why that was.
