Engagement of the athlete
In Maxithlon the athletes can enter in your club in 3 different ways:
- Youth Squad of your club
- Free Market; every week various athletes enter the free market, and you can buy them
- Market; Sold by other clubs
If the athlete bought is older than 18, when he signs the contract, he receives a bonus equal to his weekly salary.
Characteristics of the athletes
Every athlete has their own specific characteristics. Each of these characteristics has a different type of influence on the performance and the behavior of the athlete. The range that Maxithlon uses for differentiating an athlete from another one is a range of 20 values, from 1 to 20.
You cannot have more than 60 athletes in your team. If you have 61 or more athletes the next day there will be an automatic defection of the athlete with the lower mood from your club. You must be very careful to never go over 60 because you risk to lose an important athlete for your club only because at that time it has low mood. Your club has also an hatchery, in which there are the athletes pulled from the Youth Squad. The hatchery allows to hold a maximum of 5 athletes; when it is full and a new athlete arrives, the athlete with the lower moral of the hatchery will automatically go away, without any warning. It's therefore a good idea to leave always some available space for the new arrivals.
Every athlete can be sprinter, half-distance runner, long distance runner, race-walker, jumper or thrower. Each of this specialty has two additional skills to the technical characteristics and they are for the sprinters Acceleration and Reflex, for the half-distance runners there is Tactics and Final Sprint, the long distace runners have Endurance and Continuity, for the race-walkers Technique and Pace, the jumpers have Take-off and Elasticity, at last throwers have Jerk and Coordination. Each of this skills influence the performance of the athlete in the specific competition. The choice of specialty doesn't force the athlete to participate only in the competitions predisposed to that specialty, but obviously he will be a little disadvantaged for the lack of special skills. Example: sprinters can make very well in long jump, but for the lack of Take-off and Elasticity their performances will probably result worst compared to an athlete jumper.
During the choice of the specialty, the athlete get these two additional skills with a value random that however it is influenced by the Moral of the athlete. The specialty of the athlete can be selected or changed only once in ten weeks. The specialty of athletes that are 25 years old or older cannot be changed anymore.

Injuries
During a Competition can happen that an athlete is affected by an injury, especially if he isn't in the proper psico-phisical condition for a race, that is when he has low values in form and Mood. The risk of injuries increase if the athlete take part at more than one race in a day. The gravity of injury is valued in days. These days are purely indicative and can be influenced by different factors like the number of Doctors present in your staff and the age of the athlete. Every doctor present in your Staff can lower the time of healing of 1 day every 10 of injury. The older athletes will heal slower, and more precisely every 2 years above the 15 years of age of the athlete they will have necessity of one day more of convalescence.
