Youth Performance Academy

How do you develop your young athlete into their absolute best?
💪🥇⬆️
1. Develop Discipline - This helps your athlete take responsibility for their actions. It's gives them ownership and the ability to manage their actions and feelings. If you have to constantly prod your athlete to work at their sport, they are not interested and have not developed the discipline necessary to have success.

2. Keep your athlete active - Athleticism, as a youth, is built by playing. Countless hours on the iPad or phone will be detrimental to them improving skills and developing confidence.

3. Train speed & agility - Young athletes start developing improper mechanics as soon as they start running. Although these patterns can be broken, it takes time to relearn proper movement. Agility, on the other hand, is trained by reaction (not ladder drills). Young athletes have to learn to react to the unknown, not a determined drill.

4. Strength Training - Contrary to popular belief, this should be done done by an adult, with a certification, and a college degree. There is no other argument. Strength training not only helps develop jumping and speed, but it can also help prevent injuries.

Sports are a great way for kids to have fun while staying fit. Sports also teach important life lessons like:

working as a team

learning how to be a good sport

overcoming challenges

controlling emotions

taking pride in accomplishments

But it is not always easy to keep it together when it feels like winning and/or performance is everything. Help your young athlete keep a healthy attitude about sports and develop the tools to deal with the stress that comes with competing.
