Hello!
I have just bought new player and I want to grow his skill as fast as it's posible. So here is my questions:
1. First I will train RB then, IS, and later ID, but should I worry about such skills as Handing and Passing, because these both skill are atrocious at the moment.
2. At the moment my coaches skill is advanced, if I would get better coach, would this increase chance to gain skills faster ?
3. I was thinking about getting this player in U21 (he is from Spain), but he's potential is to low, right ?
I would greatly appreciate your advice!

1. Try to rotate the training, i.e. training 1 week each and then repeating. Handling and Passing at atrocious are really low, but I think there's little use in training them above inept or mediocre, as even that will take a lot of time. His JS could be a valuable addition though, as he already has nice range for a big man, so he could be a nice PF who can knock down the occasional 3.

2. Yes. However, don't buy a coach you can't afford.

3. Not necessarily. For U21, allstar potential may be just enough (though unlikely). What is more limiting to his fast development is that he is relatively small for a C.

First of all, his primary skills are fantastic start. They're the highest they could be as a rookie. However, it sucks he has 3 atrocious in addition to very low FT.
1. Your plan sounds good. Train RB, IS and ID, and keep repeating it. But at some point, you'll need to train passing and handling, and if you have time, OD as well. Otherwise he'll be a monoskilled monster and his salary will "sky-rocket". Also you should train FT and stamina as well.

2. Getting lvl 5/6 trainer wil increase the rate of training, but not by very much. I heard that lvl 5 trainer will give a player extra 2-3 pops over 2 seasons, so really, it's not much. But if you have a lot of money saved, you could get lvl 5/6 trainer.

3. Potential doesn't really matter for U21 NT team (unless a player has like 6th man potential). All star potential is good enough for U21 NT team.

Good luck, you've got a very nice rookie there, don't spoil him.

Ok, thanks for advices so far :D
I guess I will get better coach, that 2-3 extar pops aren't much, but they could be usefull.

Wasn't accualy thinking that traing ID will give less chance to comite fouls and get off befor time, so I will get to ID training next week, thanks for his advice! :D

I would say his potential would be too low for the U21's especially in a large country like Spain. With Allstar potential he will start hitting the cap at 21 where U21 coaches like players to be able to keep training strong at this age.

Passing would train a bit faster as he is 6'

I have very good indications (as a Cyprus NT manager) that HA/PA are not affected by the height. Actually only the OD/JR affected by the height.
