i am trying to train outside defense for one of my players who i put in the SF position, last week i trained pressure for my team's SG/PG/SF and none of my player's skills increased this week.
so this week im thinking of moving my SF to the PG position and just train pressure for SG/PG only and hope this player would increase his skills faster, I was wondering if the amount of OD training for my player would stack on even tough i moved him from SF to PG.

and if this works would the skill of his OD increase faster?

the player is 18 years old and perennial allstar potential and i am using a level three trainer

Thank you for helping

Players have sublevels on each skill so your players OD skill would have increased even without seeing a pop. The more positions u train the slower training is so PG/SG training will be faster. You don't lose training by switching positions it just adds on. You should really try and get a level 4 trainer whos on around $15,000 salary for better training.

Yes. Players get training regardless of the role they play, provided it is included in the training positions of course.
See it like this: the skills you see in the players' profile are obtained by rounding up or down to the closest integer the actual values.
So let's say, for example, that last week your SF increased his OD skill from 6.0 to 6.49: in this case his OD still showed as "average", but it actually got much closer to "respectable" and will never decrease from there. If this week you train him again, but this time more effectively because it's a two-role training, his OD may increase even more, let's say to 7.1, and his skill will pop to "respectable". So yes, training stacks up in any case.

and if this works would the skill of his OD increase faster?

Yes. Actually, I would recommend against three-role training as it's very slow. See this message for reference (78242.1)

All level 4 trainers have the same ability salary doesn't matter. Just meant that level 4 trainers u can get on about $15,000 salary, obviously the lower the better.

alright, and so if i could get a level 5 trainer it would be even better? if it is and i am only doing a 1 position training, could the skill pop 2 levels at a time? and does the specialty of the trainers matter?

Well level 5 trainer would be better but its gets competitive bidding on the low salary level 5 trainees so it will cost a lot more. The skill would pop a bit faster but not 2 levels at a time. Not to sure on how much speciality helps.

Sure thing, the higher the level of the trainer, the more effect your training will have (when all other factors remain the same). However, the difference between levels N and N+1 is smaller than between N-1 and N, while the cost (bidding+wage) increases more significantly.

You cannot get 2 pops in single skill at the same time.

The speciality of a trainer does not affect the training speed, and the level of the trainer does not affect the speciality. So, a level 1 employee with speciality X is as good as a level 4 employee with X as far as the effect of the speciality is considered. As an example, the employee level could thus describe how fast they can walk while the speciality of chewing bubblegum is an on/off extra skill that doesn't affect the walking speed and vice versa.

it will be better, but a lvl 5 trainer is more expensive and have a bigger salary .even if you train just 1 position , you can't have 2 pop's up in 1 week, you can have 2 pop's up but at different skills .
