Subject: Junior Talent

Our NT manager says in our national forum that a junior can have a talent under 3 weeks. True or false?

I have always listened that the minimum talent was 3 weeks to pop up. But now he has made me doubt.
I would like to read your opinions and experiences.

False....Haven't even heard about junior who has had all his pops with 3 weeks. There are always some 4 weeks pops included.

I agree with Max. I've seen 3,33 week talents, but that's the best ever.

under 3 weeks in youth school has never been observed.

some people claim so, but they're unable to provide proof of it

i have one with 3,4 weeks/popup. He is now in my team: Axel Quester, age: 17

false!

Well. Rules don't tell, but many says 3.
You can ask your NT coach for example(-s) of lower than 3, and see if he has any ;-)

time to choose a new coach then!

what he says is ridiculous, unless he can proove it, which would make him a hero ;)

I haven proven before a player with 3.12 (or 3.14) talent. It's one of my own that has been sold for an obscene sum of money. Max can confirm that!
Here is the player: Remus Colţan

maybe it is a missunderstanding. he said:

...that a junior can have a talent under 3 weeks.

maybe he meant under 3 weeks with regular training, not in youth school.


allthough i must admit, that you can't classify a talent in weeks when talking about regular training.

uhh yeah.

Yes, I belueve your theory are corect,
but if it is, then has the NT coach misunderstood "talent". (For instance training results can be different for different skill levels, and different for different skill types. If someone had misunderstood "talent" just PARTLY, then he perhaps can believe some has 0.5 talent ;-) (=a player with low stamina raising 2 in ONE week.)

I have a player who popped 3 times in 2 weeks with low stamina:P

That's not what we are talking about here ;) We talk about weeks between two pops in junior school
