A german Manager had six consecutive pops in PA on an 22 or 23 yo C.

Elastic effect can be very strong it seems. I doubt there have been changes tho.

Wow, six consecutive pops? I knew elastics were strong, but not that strong. Interesting.

Just checked again, 6 consecutive pops for a 22yo guy 208cm tall. My trainee Bo Taylor has pretty spectacular secondaries and I expect to see some pretty fast pops in passing too.

Truth to be told, passing was always one of the fastest training there, if not the fastest. JR on the other hand, not so much. But I guess elastics can fix that

It's got to be the elastics. I have an 18 year old (admittedly, 203 cm) who popped his first week of JR training, again in his third and then again in his sixth (missing no minutes in the weeks after the first). Level 6 trainer, too. I suppose that's the price I pay for being crazy.

Why don't you train 1 on 1 first? Or is he your secondary trainee?

Primary trainee, and I'm not sure I'm ever going to train 1 on 1 for this batch. I did mention that I'm crazy, yes?

That's coming. And incidental data point - now my 198cm player also did not pop with two full weeks JR training. I can only imagine how it'll be later next season.

I think my main trainee (6'10'') had a couple of early pops in inside skills last season (pops from 16->17 so my estimated sublevels were fairly accurate).

My younger trainees in Utopia were mostly in line but they missed some pop when I was expecting one. They are shorter: one is 6'9'' one is 6'4'' and the last is 6'0''. I think some of the late pops were in HA/DR but I'd need to check.

I assumed my late pops were due to selecting the wrong coach level in the past and that the extra pops on my taller trainee was due to unexpected cross training. I don't have hard evidence to back it up but it seems that the surprises have increased so it's possible that you guys are correct in suspecting something changed.
