FM15 has changed how we are supposed to set up coaches for team training - SI "fixed a bug" (their words) from previous versions of FM that kept coaches' workloads at "Light". All we used to do was allocate one coach per training category and everyone was happy.
I've no idea which version the original poster was talking about, but I play FM14. And I'm having a similar problem.
As an aside, this is about the third time I've registered with the forum. For some reason, when I went to sign in, it asked me to "complete registration". I registered years ago. I'm pretty sure I have had to re-register at least once or twice since then. And now, again. Anyway... back to the point!

Training has now been changed to better reflect real life in as much as in real life it is highly unusual for a coach to specialise in just one area of training (eg., in FM terms Ball Control or Shooting). Thus, it is now intended that we should allocate our coaches in a similar manner.
So, because of training workloads and players becoming unhappy we are now supposed to :
- Allocate each coach to more than one training category
- Have more than one coach cover each category
I don't think I'll be able to do that. I'm not allowed to hire more than three coaches. So I have a fitness coach, training in the two fitness categories; my Ass Man, who is training in five categories (including the two GK categories); and another coach concentrating on his two best areas of Ball Control and Attacking. So unless I stretch them all very thinly, and watch the quality stars drop, I can't do either of these suggestions. Note that the game says, on the training screen, "The more areas a coach covers, the less time he's able to spend on each area, reducing the quality of training."

So, for example, we would allocate coach A to Ball Control + Shooting. We would allocate coach B also to Ball Control + Shooting. Coach C gets Tactics and Defence as does coach D. And so on and so on. You keep allocating coaches in this manner until their training workloads reduce to Average. NOTE - you may need to allocate more than 3 coaches to a category to get workloads down.
More than three coaches to each category? I only have three coaches! All my workloads for each category say "light".

Also note that for this purpose your reserve/youth team managers and their assistants count towards the coaching staff - as does yourself as Manager.
I'm not listed in the training screen, so I can't allocate any training from myself.

Workaround
There remains the ability to dedicate one "specialist" coach per training category as we always used to so. Employ your specialists, then, if workloads are Heavy, merely take one of your non-specialist coaches (or managers) and split their time between all of the training categories marked as Heavy. Repeat this with another non-specialist coach or manager until the workloads reach Average. If you don't have any spare coaches or managers for this, just employ the cheapest, crappiest coach(es) you can find and split their effort between categories. Again, reducing the size of squads will also help.
I can't employ any other coaches, no matter how crappy. Also, I couldn't afford any other coaches.
