Youth Athlete Training

You want to keep your kids in the game as long as you can and without injury!

Your athlete is progressing in producing speed, strength and skill. But are they able to handle the force that they are now producing? Most injuries in sports happen during the deceleration or slowing down of movement, not the production of speed or power. In other words, the injuries happen during the landing of a jump, not the actual jump, or the change of direction when they needed to slow down and then cut and go again. How much time have you spent working on ball control? But how much time do you spend on BODY control? Let’s fix that!

During our 6 week program:

  • We begin to implement proper warm up for your athlete.

  • Learn proper landing mechanics.

  • Practice proper cutting mechanics

  • Learn body awareness/control during movements.

  • Begin strengthening the parts that control deceleration.

  • We even touch on proper nutrition, fueling for games and recovery!

  • This is for youth athletes generally age 13 and up! Looking for become the best athlete they can be while also reducing their chance of injury. During this time of youth sports where athletes are specializing in one sport at a very young age learning to manage the forces of that sport are imperative in order to decrease their chances of getting hurt!

  • Yes! Great question!
    First, initially I want to focus on form and mechanics, so if we are going to do a weighted movement, those two things will be addressed first making sure the athlete can perform this without weight before the idea of adding a weight is ever considered!
    Second, there are benefits of adolescents lifting weights. These athletes are out there asking their bodies to perform various strength and mobility movements during their sport, having enough muscle mass to carry this load is imprerative!

  • This is a great question! Everything we learn and do in this program is broken down into smaller pieces for the athletes to learn first. In order to go fast first you must go slow! I make sure each athlete can own the movement before adding more load or speed, we do everything slowly to make sure they have the ability to actualy move through the entire range of motion I am asking for!
