I counted 26 again....I count the season rollover as the final training of that season for each season.

I count the rollover as the first training of a season. Ideally it happens sooner than the training, so any 20 year old player would get kicked out of the YA if you counted it as the last.

Edit: slider6 was faster

I understand. Just for the purpose of counting the number of trainings there are 26.

Now I know the problem. I was going month to month and totaling them up. I didn't notice that Peter had part of a month on another. The first week of September starts late in the week, he has the last week of august on there as well. Hence the 2 extra weeks.

I'll make a change to my post to reflect that.

If you start counting from the first gameday of a season:

17 league gameday
+3 playoff
+1 relegation
+1 bowl
- - - - -
22
+1 training at SR
+1 training before draft
- - - - -

as the Turtle pointed out: 24

What is considered good secondary skill numbers for a youth pull?
i.e. footwork, carrying, etc.

I'd say Positioning/Vision.
That's my approach there, unless I already have a clear idea at which position I want to use a youth player.

They way I plan on doing mine:

I'll only pull 16 year olds (maybe a really good 17 yo, pulled one 50/47 tw/int 17yo this yr) then set them to train physicals:

High TW low INT - Train str for ol/dl line
Low TW high INT - Train spd for wr/rb/db
High TW high INT - both for LB/TE

Their 'main' physical should be nearly capped by the time they turn 18 (2 years), so they still have 2.5 years in YA - rest of 18, 19, 20.

I'll train up their secondary physicals a bit and then start on skills. Assuming most players have 3 primary skills (eg tackling, vision, position for lb) on their own they should get 1.5 of them to ~20 mark. So with the YA points (I only use on 20yo) in theory I'm hoping to be bringing up 2 draft level players and 1/2 solid young backups a year.

The guys who don't reach the INT/TW requirements I plan on training up and selling if they cap high. Or cutting if need more room.

To be honest ... the OP is pretty much stating the obvious - you either share the training points around or you put them onto one player. And then with the player you create you either sell or train.

On a personal note, with a 91% LB coach - I estimate a minimum of 12 points a season from training (24 * 0.5) and actually it tends to fall somewhere between 12 and 16. I get about 160 points from youth training so the 'chosen player' gets about 2.2 points a week or 53 points a season.

Some people think the best approach is to keep 4 players per year group in the academy at any one time. I think the best plan is to have lots of 16/17 year olds as essentially 'try-outs' so you've got more chance of hitting a 50 for a physical (the more lottery tickets you buy). As players cap you'll decide whether to keep or release them so it'll be something like

20 year olds: 1
19 year olds: 2
18 year olds: 4
17 year olds: 7
16 year olds: 8

So with the 19 year olds you'll have a couple left in the academy - both of whom should be physically capped and you can decide which of the 2 to go forward with (and sell the other). The one 20 year old will get all of the youth training points for that year.

I'm working on a 1 player per year approach at the moment in terms of youth although might switch to 2 players and keep 2 20 year olds.
