I feel, as a Marine, and someone who cares about this game and our results versus other countries it is time for me to cast aside my typical guard training and train players strictly for the U21 team and beyond.

Now I have a very good method right now and I am fairly sure of the schedule of 1 pos. training and what it entails, but I need Juiced and the other long time players to provide advice and tactics pronto.

Here are my three US born trainees, what advice to you have for me? I planned on training pressure for until all three of them had at least three pops, then moving on to one on one, because I believe it does a great job training 3 skills and relatively quickly despite it being a two position method.

Thoughts gentlemen?

Those are all excellent trainees. Very exciting to see how they turn out!

One suggestion I'd make: Assuming you're trying to train Pressure (a VERY good idea), I'd try to get each guy their 48 minutes at PG and one additional appearance (starter or backup) at SG each week. That way, if for some reason (usually fouling out or a minor injury) one of your guys misses their 48 min @ PG, rather than doing sub-optimal Pressure training, you can just switch that week to optimal 1vs1 or JS training (since they will hopefully all still have at least 48 min total at PG/SG). Gives a nice backup for those inevitable weeks were something goes wrong.

This is a smart man.

I can't believe you twitter. Is it possible to remove a NT coach mid-term?

Juiced out!

I try to entertain with Twitter, I'm not like "just woke up", "took a shower", "rubbed one out", or anything like that.

I feel the same as you Plotts, I too got a stud american trainee in the draft who I plan on training fully for the U21 team and full NT so america can hopefully win something sometime ha.

My training regime for him this season, will be single position training, and possibly some inside training as well, (when I train JS, i'll train forwards, or one on one).
But for this season, I plan on getting him 4 pops in JS, and 3 pops in OD and 1 pop in passing if i can this season. Then 3 pops in JS, 3 pops in OD and 2 in passing next season. Making him around tremendous JS, tremendous OD and prominent passing when he hits 20yo. Then i'll throw in some JR and more passing the following season, and in 7 pops of JS training in 2 seasons he'll pop in JR atleast once maybe twice, along with handling/driving. So before he hits 21 he'll be really well rounded. Anything wrong in my thinking or a better training strategy?

I am heavily disappointed now, was just going to ask for your twitter details, because I wanted to know when you wake up, have a shower etc :)

When you train JS you want to train Wingmen its more beneficial see below from the training speed analysis:

Forwards:
Trains JS @ 2-3 weeks
Trains JR @ 7-8 weeks
Trains IS @ 7-8 weeks

Wingmen:
Trains JS @ 2-3 weeks
Trains JR @ 7-8 weeks
Trains DV @ 7-8 weeks
Trains HN @ 7-8 weeks
Trians IS @ 7-8 weeks

I would throw in some JR training sooner than you were planning as numerically it trains better than JS and I feel range is generally overlooked especially in guards.

I think you have a great plan just keep communicating with Juicepats and Coco (Congrats on your win Coco), you have a great player that should develop into someone amazing. I'm glad to see we have more US trainers out there, there arent enough of us yet.

Edit: And also for anyone training a USA player make sure to get onto the offsite forum!

It's all in the signature.

BTW, I am very thankful you did not want to know about the other daily event I referenced.
