Again paying as much as 19 scouting budget for college and High school and 17 international scouting budgets isn't short changing the scouting process. Granted a difference in total projections should differ from 14 to 20 in a budget.When you see a projection of 81 with a high budget it is a kick in the teeth to get a 56 stamina starting point given the extremely low rate of gain for that department historicaly.Studies show that at age 24, a
professional football player relying on strength will be peaking at the same time as a 24-year-old tennis player known for her foot speed . Only four years later will a star baseball player and an elite long-distance runner top out at about 28 years of age.In the general population, VO2max tends to decline by about 10% per decade after the age of 30.
Athletes who continue to compete and train hard can reduce the drop by about half, to 5% per decade after the age of 30.Now 56 is 69.135 % of 81 which means that our highly paid scout expects this highly conditioned young man to reach a little over 30% improvement in 4 years. Which is pretty much impossible in real life as well as in the make believe game and again with scouting budgets as high as 19.The gulf is too wide. Scouting does not have to be a exact science as it clearly is not in real life. However the basic concept of durability should not be this far off ever with any of the mentioned budgets.
It is in fact a hole in the game.
