Subject: 16 yr old getting defending training

Never having trained a 16 yr old, this rather took me by surprise, but with 3 weeks defending training my guy has popped twice in defending already. Is this normal?

sure.
just decent talent and low skills in first place.
16 and 17 seem to train fastest and then slows maybe 10% every season after that.
people have had 4-5 pops in passing in 5 weeks before even at young age and max talent.
i never had such luck yet :(

Your right about that, his defending was very low.

Talent being equal, 16yo's will train quickest, and it seems to decline in a pretty linear manner as the player gets older.
