I've actually been asking around to get info on OD training. Recently a top 20yo guard of mine trained:

2 weeks PG/SG pressure and 1 week PG pressure (8 trainer) and hasn't popped. Concerned he's hit his all-star potential soft cap, based partially on the info from this thread.

I've a few questions (maybe from the outside perspective of a newbie), btw thanks a lot for all the research.

1- How solid is the evidence that there really is any difference between different training types in the training speed for the primary skill? The values in the first post look suspiciously similar, wouldn't the theory be simpler/better if we just assume it's the same in all ten types? Especially since it is apparently claimed by the same theory that training speed for secondary skills is identical across types.

2- How solid is the evidence that training speed for secondary skills is identical no matter how many positions you are training? Seems sort of implausible.

3- How solid is the evidence that there is any difference between different training types int he number of secondary skills that are trained? Again, would be sort of simpler if it were the same.

4- Overall the picture seems to be that trainings for two positions are most efficient, provided you have enough trainees. Agree?

5- Will a player train equally fast for, say, IS at C and PF respectively, considering that IS is apparently relatively more important at the C position than at PF?

6- I'd appreciate a link to a good post that describes the exact relation between age and training speed.

Thanks again, maybe someone has time to answer while we wait for the new server...
