What this has to do with my point remains a mystery to me. It does point out that the older a player is the higher his various sublevels may be, and also in a contextual way should point out that even if a "pop" does not occur, a player who is trained improves in the skills in which he is being trained.
My point was and still is that training players that are 26 is not a useless endeavor.
My 26 year old this season had 8 two position weeks, 1 single position week, and three team trainings.
Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
