I'm sorry I am also training another 19 year old power forward with star potential... I am training both of them this week one on one and playing them at point guard and shooting guard in scrimmage tomorrow night... Please shed some light on my training issues if you can... I don't really train veterans just my young guys which as you can see is only a couple right now. Thanks for all your help and advice

As Manon said, you won't get pop every week. The best thing to do is getting the Training Simulator or Coach Parrot, especially if your guys have relatively low potential (at some point they will be unable to improve any further), and check what is likely to happen.

For training selections which allow for it, always train single position if you can, so pressure for PG rather than guards or inside shot for C rather than PF/C (the training is much faster).

Thanks....question. what is the training sim or coach parrot? Sorry...i haven't been doing alot of training until this past season?

Am I correct in my conclusion that one on one training doesn't have single position or an I missing something? I also want to train PF but the only options I see are C/PF or forwards. Which would be better to use?

Forwards. Trains at 100% speed.

C/PF trains at 90%

Wow... so then a Center would have no way to get 100% training from one-on-one then?

You can even train 1vs1 for PG/SG positions. It changes slightly the trained skillsets (Dr, Ha, JS vs Dr,Ha,JS and IS). this is the kind of knowledge you'll have to learn first.

As @lemonshine stated the use of coachParrot and/or train sim is a must for the beginners.

You are correct. There are 3 types of training in the game:
- 1 position training. Training where the maximum training is achieved by playing 48:00 minutes at a given position. They include: Pressure (PG; main skill trained OD), Passing (PG, skill trained PA), Ball Handling (PG, HA), Outside Shooting (SG, trains JR), Shot Blocking (C, SB), Inside Shooting (C, IS), Inside Defense (C, ID).
- 2 position training. For these the best possible training is 48:00 minutes at either of 2 positions (or a combination of them). They include: One on One (PG+SG or SF+PF), Jump Shot (PG+SG or SG+SF or SF+PF) and Rebounding (PF+C). Not that you cannot train Jump Shots for trainees who played PG and SF in the same week.
- team training: FT, Stamina, Game Shape. Nothing to see here. Most people train these sometimes in the weeks with only 2 games (all star game if you're out of the cup and playoff weeks)

Note that instead of the best possible training (detailed above) you have a number of subpar options which will not give you the fastest increase in skill, such as:
- training 1 position training regimes for 2 positions (like Pressure at PG+SG) or
- training 1 position training for a different position than the standard one (for example Pressure for SG, Inside Shot for SF, Jump Shot for PF+C, Rebounding for PG+SG)

In order to understand what happens and what speed of training we are talking about I suggest you check Rhyminsimon training simulator or Josef Ka Coach Parrot (they are file excel that you can download from the web and are fairly accurate in telling you how fast skills train)
