How NOT train young athletes:
Mindless sprint drills trying to chase some mystical perfect technical model...
How to train young athletes:
Games, Tag and it's variations...sprint, stop, start, turn, evade, dodge, close space, create space, make decisions and most importantly have fun!
If you want to learn how train young athletes to improve skills, have fun and will enjoy training for years down the road, DM me for details on youth athletic development programs and courses.

Early sports specialization gives the illusion of a high level of athleticism. The reality is that most youth sports lack any real physicality. It's no surprise we see the Olympic/D1 dream fall apart around age 13/14 when strength, power and speed become prerequisites for success in higher level sports. ##LTAD
Kids don't need to grind...
Kids don't need to condition until they puke...
Kids don't need to be pushed...
Kids don't need to be punished with exercise...
Kids don't need mental toughness training...
Kids don't need 40 times...
Kids don't need technique training...
Kids don't need player rankings or national championships...
Pretty much everything expected of an older athlete, Kids don't need...

If you can practice, you can lift. If you’re practicing, you’re lifting. You practiced today? You’re lifting today!! You practiced at your practice. You’re lifting at your lift. If you can practice, you can lift! #FindWaysIn
This is so spot on and we see this across every sport. Children playing sports that are supposed to be fun is a billion dollar industry. Think about that for a minute. Read the full post for some great information. 👇👀
Parents of young athletes:
You're being sold a bill of goods…
Early specialization…
It's a fear campaign…
Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying:
To become a great athlete you must:
Specialize early…
Train year-round…
Compete often…
If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind
And for the most part:
It’s complete bullshit…
What it really is:
Early Development of sport-specific skills
Early success in sport
Little to no development of fundamental movement skills
Poor performances later in the sport
Higher chance of injury
Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport
Early start…Early finish!
It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop…
During the first 14 years of Life:
Be a human first:
Do plenty of activities that involve:
Rolling
Crawling
Climbing
Reaching
Bending
Rotating
Standing (1 foot)
Changing levels:
Be an athlete second:
Sprint
Jump
Hop
Climb
Wrestle
swim/bike/ski
catch/kick/throw/trap Etc
Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports!
I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills.
