So do you only choose training types that target two positions (like 1v1 or JS), or do you also go for single-position ones like Pressure but run them in two slots to cover more players?
If you ever decide to put together a summary of how this experiment goes - let me know)
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't very clear. If i train 18 yr old I would only ever train say OD single-position 1 player in a game. Now, while trying to build a roster from scratch, I am 2-position training everything (1v1 and OD etc) to maximise the number of players trained. Having training infrastructure and Level6/7 trainer, and youth trainer, has been more important than previously.
In a few seasons' time, when my team is at a reasonable level (probably when I move up to Div III) I will only 2-position train those skills you would usually train (JS, 1V1, Reb etc) and 1-position train OD, P, IS, ID etc. Hope this makes more sense?
So, essentially, I am training maximum number of players possible at the moment while still trying hard to focus on my U21 NT player and future players. So far, they have trained well.
Time will tell whether this was right or whether I should have stick with the training plans I would normally follow: focus on 2 x 18yo studs plus a third.
