Training & Rest for Youth Athletes
In today's travel ball, play all year, "grind don't stop" world of youth sports, parents have been put between a rock and a hard spot on what is "best," what is optimal, and what is appropriate. We want to give you, parents and future parents, some tools and maybe challenge your thoughts on how to view how much your son/daughter(s) do when chasing athletic improvement. So, on today's episode, we do a deep dive on why appropriate programming and rest are vital to athletic performance & improvement, how parents can and need to be a champion for their kids, and how to find a balance between in-season, off-season, and private work. As always, if you have questions, want to discuss this show more, or need help with anything athletic performance related, we're here to help!
