I don't know if there is a guide but i found this:
What is the elastic effect? it’s described as “The increased or decreased speed a skill will train at when its corresponding skills are higher or lower relative to the said skill.” What this means is that in order to effectively train a player, you’re going to want to rotate what skill is trained quite frequently. An example of the elastic effect would be when a guard with all respectable skills is given non-stop jump shot training. Each new jump shot pop is going to take longer than the last because of all the respectable skills slowing it down. Alternatively, if you had a guard with atrocious jump shot (and all his other skills at respectable), his jump shot would increase at a faster rate than his other skills. BB players have a natural tendency to strive for a balanced game so do them a favor and mix up your training every once in a while. The more you rotate training skills, the faster a player will train.

As the previous user clarified with his quote:
ID will train faster if IS and/or SB are higher than ID
SB will train faster if ID is higher

Basically take the Coach Parrot Spreadsheet check which skill trains faster and go for that. If you rotate skills when they overtake each other in speed (assuming they fit your training goals) you should be able to maximise training.

So if you plan to train ID and SB (and punt IS) you start with SB because it's faster than ID. At some point ID's speed will catch up because of the elastic effect of SB on ID. At that point you probably want to alternate but you need to factor in secondary training as well.

If you plan to punt RB instead of IS then it's a trickier question, because training 1v1 (and IS with it) is probably a better idea than starting with SB (although SB is faster than any other inside skill training, it's not faster than 1v1 training overall).

Thank you both
Where I can find that Coach Parrot Spreadsheet?

(119279.1)

Put you players in "MyData", then you can check the speed in "Calculators" and "Scout". In "Calculators" the training speed is broken down into its components, including the elastic effect.

It's pretty straightforward, but if you have problems drop me a bb mail and I will try to help.
