participants in the "ground controller" position. The following pattern can be seen: Regardless
of position, during the second game, participants given the "all" training (cross-training) seem to
be at least as successful as their counterparts given the "own" training, that is, double training on
one set of assets. That advantage for cross-training is not evident in the first game. In fact,
cross-trained individuals in the "ground controller" position seem to have been at a disadvantage
during the first game.
