Subject: coaching skills

say if I plan to train defender, do I need to get a coach who has formidable defender skills, do I also need to get one that has passing and stamina skills? or do I not worry about that

If you want to train defender, then you should get a coach that has unearthly or magical skills in defending. It's believed that other skills for a head coach affect random pops.

wait what are assts. for then?

Helps with secondary pops.

Yep.

Think of your main coach as a head trainer, instead of a head coach.

When you are a new team, you want at least a magical skill in what you want to train. However, the same guy can have poor in everything else and its fine.

My stamina trainer makes 5800 a week, he's unearthly in stamina, and a weak coach overall lol.

The assistant coaches, and junior coach for that matter, are what you, me, and everyone else would consider 'normal' coaches - meaning you want to focus on their overall skill as a coach, not individual ones.

Just remember that if money is an issue, and it should be :) That there are fiscal ranges for each skill level. I have a good and solid assistant coaches but combined they make maybe 6k/week.

Figure that you are going to run at a deficit for a good long time because of your coaches salaries. That's ok - as long as you sell some trainees and have a decent team, you'll stay above water.

yeah, I'll have to sell someone evnetually I'm sure. I'm holding steady at -100k for now :)

thts wt i thought...secondary pops are random pops right? i was confused by what KY said :P

Secondary pops depend on MAIN coach skills too: the higher those are and more secondary pops you will have. With a MAIN coach with higher training skills you will have to pay a big salary for him: i'll post my main coach here:

Dean Gidel, age: 40,
wage: 28 050 $
club: Hartford Patriots, country: USA
outstanding coach

Training effectiveness:
unearthly of stamina, tragic of keeper
unearthly of pace, formidable of defender
unearthly of technique, unearthly of playmaker
unearthly of passing, adequate of striker

when i started i used 2 MAIN coach with respectevely unhearthly in PM and PACE (i switched them whenever i trained PACE or PM )and they were particularly cheap on wage becasue the other skills were very low and because of this i never had many secondary pops. With this coach i mostly have Secondary pops every week, and normally in a season i train Stamina, PM, PAssing and PAce.
My 2 cents ^_^

This is some great information,

What about the coach`s age?

This is from the rules:

Age

Your coach is a human being, at some moment he may finish his coaching career. Do not be surprised when your aged coach hands you his notice and leaves for well-deserved retirement in Bermuda.

^_^

Has anyone have a coach retire on you? I haven't seen that happen, or a player either.

I haven't. We need to get some more Island Nations into this game. I wan't to sign an Antigua & Barbudan

I don't think age retirement is implemented yet. But it could be done at any time, i can't imagine greg is gonna allow coaches into their 70's :)
