Working with kidsThe most important aspect of training kids, aside from having fun, is setting a strong foundation upon which they can progress in the years to come. This means building into elements of training that oftentimes are overlooked. We will pay close attention to detail on their form, running drills and mechanics to ensure they’re doing things correctly before adding weight or resistance. Low level plyometrics and deceleration training will be implemented to teach them how to safely stop, land and change direction to mitigate injury. These elements will also be put into play at a faster pace to increase athleticism in real time, making them more fast, explosive and agile.
Working with teenagersI keep the same foundation building elements of training as with younger athletes such as attention to detail on form, running drills and mechanics, and safety. However, teenagers are more than capable to begin weight training, if they haven’t started already. Teenagers will require more resistance during lifts and sprinting, as well as more advanced plyometrics. The teenage years are also a great time to safely teach and implement Olympic lifts.
