Thanks for your answers. I have additionnal question for both of you, these are the
bold lines
First of all, I would ask you to invest in a decent coach. I think that 5 is the minimum here. Of course, when the finances allow you can take a coach from a higher level.
Not 100 % agree. Of course a level 5 is better, but you will cut yourself from many teams, mostly D.3 but also D.2, who could otherwise train a suitable player fur the U21. I think that with a proper training plan, level 4 is even enough to make a player reach NT, provided it's some kind of profile that's being sought after.
Don't discourage people to train a player for the national team(s) of they have a level 4 coach, of course pushing for a level 5 is better, but you don't want your owner to run into financial problems. There are already too few teams in Belgium !
then the training sessions:
First of all, and unless you have players that are way ahead in driving and handling, you HAVE to start off with 1v1 (SF/PF ofc). Because the primary skills you will train will greatly benefit from so-called "aspiration". Even for inside players : when you're giving inside defense, it will be quicker if dricing / inside shoot are already up and going.
Your plan for C is almost absolutely correct, remember just to focus on SB before rebound.
PF: same as C but more jump-shot, larger shot range and more perimeter defense
Which level of outside defense would you like to have on your PF ? Remember that the more time is pent on it, the more it will cost on primaries !SF: is difficult, I would form an inside oriented SF
Give me an ideal (but realistic !) profile for such a SF. You seem to put the emphasize on defense, something I respect. Tell me step by step the advice you would give to bring your dream SF to the defense you'd like (both OD and ID then).But I agree, SFs in U21 are always a gigantic headache.
@Tom :
PG : keep up with Passing/Pressing. Finish with Outside Shooting. For each, on 1 position (PG here) at a time if possible but not more that 2 (PG/SG here).
SG : keep up with Pressing/Outside Shooting. Finish with Passing. Same note than for PG.
First of all, outside of 1v1 and jump shot trainings, monpost is absolutely mandatory. Bipost training is absolutely worthless, unless you're doing it with a level 6 coach (as penalty for bipost training is less important on coaches level 6 and above) but even them I would only agree to it reluctantly.
What's your opinion on JR and what level of it would you recommend ? Is it fine to skip outside shooting completely, or is it something unthinkable ?What do you mean with this ? Only LP and LI will make you win the though games ? Try to win a though game with an outside tactic is utopian ?
He may have a point there : if players are very inside-roiented the team will get better results. But it takes time to raise such a generation of players, the players that are now 18 at the start of your / his mandate will be 20 when the new election wil ltake place, so in the meanwhile you'll have to do with what you have at hand.
To successfully use outside tactics to win, how should your inside players look like ?So far I see that you both failed at drawing a line between a future NT player and a future U21, I am serious about that there will be conflicts that will arise because the training plan to bring a player to NT isn't the same as a U21 and the problem might arise for higher potential players. Keep that in mind !
Sorry if I may seem "picky" but I really don't know whom I should vote for and your answers will help me make up my mind. After that don't worry I'm great company :p
