Staff

In *MMA Manager*, the gym **staff** is hired by the manager to train fighters.

Training improves the skills of fighters, but training any particular skill requires both an item of gym equipment and a staff member capable of training the specific skill, or for some training. such as boxing, a group of related skills. The trainer is also paid a fee for this service, and training typically takes some number of minutes to complete.

The quality of a staff member is visualised by the amount of stars next to their name. The quality is made up out of a couple of different factors, including their maximum skillpoints, what training types they can teach, how many skillpoints they grant per session, etc.

## General notes about trainers and coaches

* They are found and hired in the Shop, under the tab "Staff".
* There are two types of staff members: gym trainers and fight coaches.
* You can view all your current staff under Manager>Staff Overview.
* They cannot be kicked or retired.
* They don't have a passive cost, i.e they don't cost anything unless used in training.
* Each trainer/coach can only train one fighter at a time.
* All skills are different. There's never a guarantee that a trainer or coach can train all skills included in a training.

### Training with trainers and coaches

In order to actually gain skillpoints when training with staff, they need to have higher skillpoints themselves in the skills you want to train. They can't teach you above their own level.

Just because a trainer/coach has skillpoints in a certain skill, it's not guaranteed that they are able to teach every training type that includes that skill.

## Properties

#### Max Skillpoints

Every trainer/coach has a certain amount of skillpoints in each skill, symbolising how well-trained they themselves are in that skill.

This is also the cap after which they can't teach you anything more above.

*Example: If a fighter has 50 skillpoints in punches, he would require a coach with more than 50 skillpoints in punches to be able to advance.*

#### Training Points

The amount of points you will gain from training with this person in a normal training session.

This can be modified in certain conditions, like if the amount of points granted would put the fighters skillpoints higher than the fighter can teach (explained above under "Skillpoints").

#### Training Types

The training types this trainer/coach can teach.

#### Training Duration

The amount of time the trainer/coach adds to a training session. This is added to the base time of the selected training type, and then reduced by the reduction percentage of the equipment used.

#### Hiring Cost

The initial one-time cost of aquiring this trainer/coach to your gym.

#### Training Cost

The cost for each training session performed with this trainer/coach.

## Gym trainers

Gym trainers can only train one or more of the three basic skills: strength, agility, and conditioning.

## Fight coaches

Fight coaches cannot train the basic skills directly, but can train one or more fight skills.

Sometimes they offer training that improves multiple skills at once, and this kind of training may improve basic skills as well. Training of this type includes:

* **Boxing**: Trains Punches, Strike Def, and Agility.
* **BJJ**: Trains Takedowns, Submission, Ground Grappling, Submission Def, and Takedown Def.
* **Kicks and Knees**: Trains Knees, Low Kicks, and High Kicks.
