Guess your 18 y.o is not a fast trainer but a free academy player.
A fast trainer would take the lead against the scout once they get to 110Q or so.
Players are programmed to get their training capacity cut when they gain the 6th star and even slower with 7*. It's to prevent teams from going too good.

A fast 5* trainer will go down from 110 to 80% progression when he reaches 6* and will go down again to 50~60% at hard practice match, no matter if he's 18. Next season he'll recover all training speed as he loses one star.

I got a couple of super fast trainers and I thought I could get them to 9*, but I gave up soon. I couldn't pass the 7* without spending a lot and I don't buy or farm tokens (none available to farm in many countries).
