Subject: Stamina training

As probably most of us, I am training stamina during the season break. I am a bit torn if I should continue this for another week or not. Two of my young striker trainees are in desperate need of stamina (weak and poor) and the others are also hovering around average to good. So the stamina of all my strikers is not optimal. However, I am training two Scottish NT hopefuls, so I'd like to switch to striker training immediately and not loose a week of training. What would you do?

Switch now - stamina is easy to get up compared to any other skill. For me in the u21's i would never tell a manager to train stamina on a player. Its always main skills for me - i deal with stamina problems by substitutions. As they are trainees you should hope for the odd stamina pop while training the primary skills anyway.

HTH

Thought so! Thanks for confirming, I am back to striker training now...
