Russell Martin has joked that he's even ditching his own kids in order to keep an obsessive eye on Swansea City's young loan stars.
The Swans have several youngsters out at other clubs at the moment, including Morgan Whittaker, Brandon Cooper, Liam Walsh, Liam Cullen, Jordon Garrick, Oli Cooper and Steven Benda.
And Martin says the Swans are closely monitoring every one of those who have been shipped out this term.
Indeed, there is clearly some hope that one or two of them might well force their way into regular first-team contention next season.
Martin already has a packed to-do list ahead of what is already shaping up to be a busy summer, recently admitting that conversations over new contracts, and indeed possible activity in the transfer market, were already well under way.
There's also the small matter of potentially finding a long-term replacement for former number two Luke Williams, who left his post for personal reasons last month, which is similarly likely to now wait until the end of the season.
Throw in a packed schedule of games, which could well help to set the tone for the next campaign, and it's clear there is plenty of work to be done at Fairwood over the coming weeks.
But Martin says he's nevertheless making the time to assess the youngsters who are currently plying their trade elsewhere.
"I was at Newport v Forest Green on Tuesday. Travelled home, got back at five, said hello to my kids and then went straight back out again!" he told WalesOnline.
"So we're watching clips every week after every game. I've spoken to their managers this week to get their opinion on how they're doing. I watched Oli Cooper [at Newport] because obviously it's very close.
"We'll have an international break soon where all the coaching staff are scheduled to go to watch one of our players on loan.
"It's really important that they're not just sent out and that's them. It's really important that we monitor them and they stay in close contact with the club.
"I think all of them are getting something from it. They're not all in the starting XI at the moment and that's part of being out on loan. You've got to go out and try to find your way and making sure you're in the team and staying in the team because they weren't doing that here.
"I'm sure they'll all come back to us in a much better place, and how they do will probably impact what their role is here next season."
Many of those out on loan have already had a taste of first-team action in SA1, but for one reason or another haven't quite managed to stake a claim in Martin's first-team plans.
But the Swans boss admits he expects some of them to be knocking on the door again when they return.
"That's the whole point of it," he added. "We had too many young players here who hadn't really played any first-team football at all.
"You can stockpile them and say that you've got loads of academy products or loads of young players, but if they're not on the pitch then it's pointless.
"So I feel like they've had enough time with us to understand what we're doing and we had enough time to assess if they were ready to play in the team or not and the decision was made that it was best for them to go out and play football.
"Another decision we make now after their loans, and they're being reviewed constantly during their loans, we'll decide if they can make an impact with us or if they need to go and play elsewhere."
One of those who looked certain to go out and play elsewhere was Yan Dhanda, who was told back in the January window that he was free to move on.
However, an exit never quite materialised, and Dhanda hasn't played a single minute of senior football since the FA Cup third-round tie with Southampton.
Given the 23-year-old's current deal at the Swansea.com expires at the end of the season, an exit seems highly likely, although Martin hasn't ruled out the possibility of giving the midfielder another chance to shine later on down the line.
"He trains very, very well," he continued. "He just has to wait and be patient for a chance if it comes. Yan's aware of the situation. We've been really honest with each other. I've been really honest from the start. He nearly went away in August and that didn't quite happen. For one reason or another he didn't go away in January when we both agreed that it was perhaps best for him to go and play some football.
"So it's been tough for him. I understand the situation is really difficult, and it's not personal.
"I really like Yan as a lad and he trains properly every day, which is really, really important.
"As long as he carries that on there will never, ever be a problem.
"Unfortunately for him he just has to be patient. He plays in an area that's probably one of our strongest in midfield, so there's a lot of competition.
"But it has been tough on him. He's a young man and wants to play football. He's not done that and that's difficult for anyone.
"So you have to understand that, but ultimately he's part of the squad and if we need to use him then we will."
