Wayne\'o Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 When training YTH players is it best to give them all round training ie a lil bit of every thing and keep it that way for all yth. or is it better to give more defensive training to a defensive player, im thinking because they have low stats in all areas they need a lil bit of every thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I still split my youth players into different categories e.g. defensive, attacking etc. but not as much as senior players. Youth players generally need more strength and aerobic training to boost their physical stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I focus more on physical, then when they get a full time contract, put them in with senior players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i agree with Neji... i have a pre-season routine for both teams, but i leave the u-18's on it the whole season, as it is a mainly physical routine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakhabbit Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i have 5 training schedules for Youth players, with each schedule having a major focus Goalkeeper; Defence; Midfield; Winger; Attack. Goalkeeping has no Defence, Attack or Shooting Training Defence has no Shooting Training Midfield has all areas on an equal training level Winger focus' on Attack & Set Pieces Attack has no Defence Training Match practice combined with training molds the direction of youth development, so if i can minimise the improvement of inappropriate attributes through training, my youth *should* develop well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckus Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I often look a the league standard im playing in ... For example... lets say im Altrincham and have a decent young striker. Now... his potential ability might be like ... 50 or something ... and his current ability 35-40. That means we dont get a whole lof out of him anymore. That means is 'smarter' to train him on specific skills instead of just physical skills. So pay attention to their coaching report: "Doesnt feel there a whole lot of improvement to get out of him" or something like that on Potential.

NepentheZ Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I focus more on physical, then when they get a full time contract, put them in with senior players. Definitely. Physical Attributes are poor in the game post 2020 anyway, so building them physically is very important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
