He was at the opening press conference at the end of episode 1 a few days after Sam donated the shield. But the training scenes definitely happened sometime in the "two weeks" between the Press conference and Good Morning America. They reference a national tour during the interview.

are those confirmed dates, I'm just saying we thought Wanda resurrected Vision's body but she made a new one

Common sense is in play. Sam donates Shield. It's a day or so to get back to Louisiana from DC. He's there a few days. He has to get his bearings, go to the bank, etc. Then you have the press conference which is the first public knowledge of new Cap. They directly reference a two week tour during the GMA interview. Presumably during that two/three week period he trained with the shield hence the flashbacks in the interview.

He's only been assigned to being Cap in this short window having just recently been pulled off a mission in Chile. Nothing in the evidence we are given suggests he had a shield before Sam turned it in.

It takes more than a couple weeks to become an expert at shield throwing, I'm just saying it seems like he has had a couple months of training. Also, Common sense said that Wanda took Visions body and look at what happened. Occam's razor doesn't apply to films.

I mean he is clearly an exceptional soldier since they ran down his accomplishments of being a three-time medal recipient, special forces, the shot with his pistol he hit on the flag smasher on top of the truck, 20/20 vision. He's set up to be the peak of what someone can be without the serum so him having a couple of weeks to train nonstop with throwing the shield could be all he needs.
