Want to get stronger? Drive that bar faster.
Want to jump high? Push off the ground harder.
Want to sprint faster? Fight to reach that next gear.
The intent in which you do things, is more important than what you do. Intent drives performance.
State track last week and I came out with a new lifetime PR of 6’5! Great way to end the season. I’m excited to see what next year brings. @SolonBoysTrack
Girls. Training. And ACL Tears.
Girls don't need a 3 day ACL program or a 5 minute ACL Warm up. Girls don't need a 6-8 wk bootcamp.
It is not a one off thing you do in a 3 day clinic or a 10 minute warm up. It's not a bootcamp right before the season just to not continue with training while in-season.
Girls need sound, progressive and comprehensive S&C 2-3x wk for at least 40 wks during the year during their off and in-season competition periods. Quad Strength. Glute strength. Landing mechanics. Deceleration. Pivoting/Twisting. Taking contact. Conditioning. Agility. Isometrics. Power work. Etc..
Cannot be neglected for weeks or MONTHS on end.
It is total negligence to go months without a weight room session or even a break in a kids schedule to make time for training.
It's a year round plan of attack to do the best we can to mitigate risk.
Girls sports and those involved need to do better and what is in our power/control.
Coaches are pulling athletes out of the weight room to "protect them for the season."
And then wondering why they're getting hurt in week 6.
In-season lifting isn't just about getting stronger. It's about not losing what you built. 2-3x/week. Low volume. High intent. The athletes who stay in the gym stay on the field.
The American Academy of Pediatrics SUPPORTS youth strength training (with proper supervision).
Here's what research actually shows:
Growth plate injuries come from contact sports & overuse—not the weight room
Properly programmed lifting IMPROVES bone density.
Light resistance training with correct form is completely safe for young athletes.
Your athlete isn't too fragile for strength training. They're actually missing out on a foundation that protects them from injury.
