How would you program/train for a 12 year old baseball/softball player?? The answer is easy, first thing you want to do is realize he or she is not a baseball/softball player. He or she is 12. Train them as a 12 year old

Bingo!!

Female athletes ages 14–18 are 4–6x more likely to tear an ACL than male athletes. The earlier they learn to move well and build confidence in the weight room, the more that risk drops.

Thank God every athlete in our district lifts 2-4 times a week, year round, from 6th-12th grade.

Lifting weights is associated with better academic performance.

Coaches should be COACHABLE also.

Increasing Relative Strength is the PRIMARY driver of Speed in underdeveloped athletes. They simply don’t have access to enough force to propel their current body mass. Young athletes NEED the Weightroom. Non-negotiable for Speed.

Traditional coaches see conditioning as the foundation of high performance. It’s nowhere on my pyramid. Those who are offended have only done it the traditional way.

HS Athletes: Eat breakfast Eat more protein Get more sleep Eat more animal protein Lift weights Eat more vegetables Don’t skip meals Eat more whole food Eat less junk food Eat more fiber Drink more water Eat more healthy fat Meal prep Stretch Learn how to cook Be more consistent

This video from last week shows one of our 8th graders who came into her lacrosse team lift because her basketball practice got canceled. Most kids would mail it in and take the day off. This girl will be something special by senior year and 50% is due to her mindset 💪🏻
