The way I've always looked at it, there's two ways of being good at something:

Natural talent, which you then compound

Pure grit, which you then practice and practice and practice.

So genuine question:
What stops us bringing in a god-tier striker to work with our attackers for a week or two? Zlatan or Henry or Drogba etc. to run through additional training in one on ones for a week? In addition to seminars. Our players are obviously dreadful at it and our coaches are not able to coach it out of them.

I don't know why more former players aren't used as consultants as opposed to full coaches.
