How do we inspire pilots to truly take up cross country soaring ?

I agree that all instructors do not need to be XC qualified. But I'd suggest that all instructors should be able and ready to: 1)land out close to the airport (it happens) and 2)have the skills to climb in a weak and ragged thermal. The two most useful comments that I gotten from XC pilots (well after I earned my PPL-Glider): 1)You suck at thermal centering. You need to get into the core. 2)You need to bank steeper and fly slower.
