# Athletes Training
## Why do I need to train my athletes?
Training your athletes can help you compete in sporting events making it easier to play higher difficulty sports mini-games.
## Do my athletes have different training levels for each sport?
Yes. You will have different athletes for each sports federation that have different training levels in that sport. Athletes will need to be trained independently for each sport. For instance, you can have a level 1 sprinter for the Athletics training in the 100m Track event and a level 2 swimmer training in the 100m freestyle event.
If you train in swimming, your swimmer will be able to compete in higher difficulty swimming events but this training won’t affect other sporting events.
## How do I train an athlete?
You can train your athlete by pressing the TRAIN button on the bottom left of the athlete customization screen before each mini-game. The TRAIN button can be found under the Player Level on this screen.
The cost in Fan Points to train the athlete in that sport can be found on the TRAIN button. In this example, it will cost 400,000 Fan Points to train the track athlete from level 5 to level 6.
Upon pressing the TRAIN button , the cost in Fan Points will be deducted from your balance and your athlete will be trained.
### Athlete Training Cost
The cost in Fan Points will vary based on the level of training. Higher training levels will require more Fan Points to train the athlete.
## How long does it take to train my athlete?
The effects of training your athlete are immediate. While normally, Olympic athletes may take years to train in their particular discipline, the effects of training in the game are immediate and can be experienced the next time they play the sport.
