Use a training rotation You have to be careful of skills that get really high in comparison to the other main skills for the player's position. For example, if you are training a PG and you push his outside d to 13 while leaving the rest of his guard skills at 7. First: this type of player will not be as good as a player with more balance. But the second point is that it is also not an efficient training program. Once his outside d gets up it will start to train slower than the rest of his skills. The reverse can be said for a skill that is much lower than the rest of the skills for his position. So, for example, a C with high inside d, inside shot and shot blocking but atrocious rebounding will train faster in rebounding.Also, I have seen some people focus on one skill for half a season, then switch to another skill. Again, I have to emphasize that this is slightly less efficient than a training program that rotates training every 2-3 weeks.
Thanks for putting so much time into this Paulo,
Thanks for putting so much time into this Paulo, I'm not sure Paulo would be comfortable taking credit for this. ;-)
