Movement efficiency is best developed during those early preadolescent years. Failure to take advantage of this time period leaves developmental holes that no amount of corrective exercise, sports specific work or guru training can take care of later on. You got one shot to get it right... #LTAD Those... show more

Then, there’s the science. In sports that require skill, if you don’t train that skill immediately and correctly the child will not be successful. Cool people call it neuroplasticity I applaud what you do, but this notion of training a child to be an athlete first before he learns skills is absurd. A child can be the greatest athlete in the world but it they place their young son on a pitching mound sideways to home plate and the palm of his hand on top of the baseball he will suffer the pain his parents deserve.

Always playing catch up is very difficult

Zero reason to believe that any of these activities will improve any form of functional ability later in life.

Can I ask why and I do agree but what is the science exactly?

Reaction: An element of coordination ability, it is one of the most sought after abilities in all sports. It is defined as: The ability to respond with movement to a particular stimulus such as sight, sound or touch. (Drabik) According to the Athletic Skills Model: the ability to react can be trained with the emergence of expected and unexpected signal in practice tasks. One of the best ways to develop speed of reaction is through exposing young athletes to a variety of different games. Not just games of their favorite sport but many different sports and made up games. Best developed for boys and girls between the ages of 8-10 years. When it comes to working with young athletes, developing speed of reaction should be on a foundational piece of any youth athletic development program. #LTAD Any parent, coach, or trainer looking for programs on youth athletic development programs D.M. for details.

I often get asked the question: How do I do youth athletic development training without all the fancy equipment you have in your gym??? Truth is, you don't need fancy equipment. Some open space, maybe a few balls, foam noodles, or cones, and you got all the tools needed to develop general athletic skills. In fact, most of my remote training programs use very little equipment. Shoutout to COVID days... where we moved the gym outside. Looking to buy youth athletic development programs or courses??? DM me for details. #LTAD

Athletic skills are trainable throughout a lifetime. However, there is no doubt that the greatest window of opportunity for accelerated athletic growth happens between the ages 5-13 years of age. Expose children early and often to as much movement variety as possible. For those looking for a guide to help develop all around movement skills and athleticism in children I gave programs and courses available. DM for details. #LTAD

The epidemic is this... Kids aren't allowed to move: From the moment they're born, they get swaddled and put on their backs , get stuck in mechanical swings, baby saucers, and walkers... They play on playgrounds that are neither challenging to their motor skills or fun while at the same time getting chased around by adults because God forbid they fall and scrape a knee. They get ipads and phones that put them in a 2D kphotic trance for hours at a time while while simultaneously sucking the nervous energy needed to move right out of their still developing bodies. In school they get to sit for hours and hours on end trying to learn...recess, art, music and phys ed get cut for more classroom learning time because really smart people that know little about child development said so... Those who are lucky to play sports get dupped into thinking div 1, and pro sports are on the horizon. Let's put all our time and effort into one activity they say... further limiting great variety that playing multiple sports brings to a growing body. Late bloomers come along and get weeded out of sports for the more athletic, naturally bigger kids. We got kids quitting sports in droves. All this non-movement leads to a nation with poor coordination, poor movement skills, injury, and poor long-term health. So I don't feel bad having a program for kids that gets them to learn to move, exercise, and have fun because somebody has to do it. Run, hop, jump, throw, catch, dive, climb, and roll. Helping one kid or a million doesn't matter. It's worth it. #LTAD Anyone interested in learning more about youth athletic development programs and courses D.M me for details.

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. #LTAD D.M. me for details about youth athletic development courses for purchase

3 months Youth athletic development training for pre-adolescent athletes in 50 sec. Build a base of movement skill wide and varied. You don't teach children the ABCs of Movement Agility Balance Coordination You put them in the environment to teach themselves. Then everything in life becomes easier, including sports and learning sports skills. #LTAD #sprint #Jump #crawl #climb #catch #throw

Worrying about their 40 times or pro agility tests is largely a waste of time for preadolescents. Speed training programs are for older, adolescent athletes who are both physically and mentally mature and have developed a wide range of movement skills through proper foundational training and development. Most youth athletes are not physically prepared to take part in a speed training program because they have yet to develop the necessary physical foundation to express speed. If your young athlete lacks the ability to balance on one foot for 15 seconds or doesn't have the relative strength to hang from a bar for 30 seconds, it may be a clue that they need a more remedial training program rather than an advanced one. A good program for a preadolescent is one that develops a wide range of movement skills rather than specializing on developing one bio motor ability like speed. #LTAD #youthathleticdevelopment #PhysEd #coordination #athleticism #play #games #kidsfitness

Middle school level training age... Too much focus on specific sports skill... Lack of all-around development... Year-round sport specialization... Never ending practices... Never ending tournaments from an early age... Broken system that eats up promising athletes... Athletes limping into the demanding college and professional ranks... Recipe for disaster... Start em young... Expose them to a variety of movement early and often... ABC: AGILITY BALANCE and COORDINATION Bodyweight mastery... Technical proficiency... Neuromuscular efficiency... Structural resiliency... #LTAD DM for interest on purchasing youth athletic development programs and courses.

Today is another day to remind youth parents and coaches: 1. Early sports specialization is a road to nowhere. 2. Many spend entirely too much ⏲️ and 💰 on playing the same sports. 3. Not nearly enough ⏲️ and 💰 on athletic development. 4. Sports participation alone does not develop general athletic skills or fitness. 5. General Athleticism sets the foundation for learning sports skills. 6. Athleticism is: Agility Balance Coordination 7. The best ages to develop agility balance and coordination is during preadolescents ages 5-12 #LTAD Athletic development 👇

Obstacle courses go far beyond: "just letting kids play" It's unfortunate that we don't have more forward thinking and creative coaches working with young athletes. Often times I see little kids doing little adult training instead! Obstacle courses are a great choice when working with younger pre-adolescent athletes. While many coaches view obstacle courses as “just letting the kids play” or just “running races with things in the way”, the experienced coach knows that any activity can be manipulated to get a desired training effect. Obviously for the youngest of children just “letting them run” an obstacle course at their own pace or racing against a friend is highly engaging and extraordinary for cardiovascular conditioning but we can also use obstacle courses as a task-oriented opportunity to train other elements like mobility, strength, speed, balance and coordination using variety and diversity of movement. Lets take a look at some examples: 1. Mobility obstacle course 2. Crawling/Climbing Obstacle course 3. Motor skills obstacle course 4. Jumping obstacle course A coach can use these exercises as a stand alone activity or combine them in an infinite number of variations to develop a wide range of athletic skills. #LTAD Anyone interested in learning more about youth athletic development DM me for details on courses.

My apologies for sounding like an old fart... But Keep it in perspective: A million programs out there touting elite athletic development. Everyone has the secret sauce to elite athleticism, speed, and agility. Exercises to break things down, build back up, special exercises, corrective exercises, endless form running drills all from your favorite speed guru to the stars... But it's not lost in me that my generation and the ones before had no speed training gurus to work with. Many of the kids I grew up with were good movers who could stop, start, and sprint just fine. We simply played lots of sports, pick up games in the neighborhood, wrestled, ran through the woods, climbed trees, and rode our bikes to our friends house...we also had to mow the lawn, shovel the driveway and rake the leaves as landscaping companies just didn't exist. You and your siblings were your own landscapers! I saw many great athletes growing up and can't recall one ACL or Tommy John surgery during my younger years. Fast forward to 2023, and it's a different world. One of early sports specialists and over organization. If you work with kids, look to the past for inspiration. Take a step back and let them play, explore, and figure things out. You'd be surprised when you put a young athlete in the right environment how well they naturally move. #LTAD Looking for material on youth athletic development? DM for details.
