You're probably not doing anything wrong.
Athletic is a good skill to have.
Don't fret too much about the skill scrolling bug - it will not affect your game too badly. I didn't find it worth while to up everyone's weapon skills in all weapons so by passing some of those is a good choice.
You will be able to train in skills at the guilds. When one of your character joins a guild - click on the icon on the left icon screen that has them enter the guild. The upper right icon is for training. Training at the guilds is the best and fastest way to increase skills. You can train once for every level, if you have the money. If one character is a member of more than one guild they can train in several things at one time.
Hope that helps!
