State of the Industry

It's incredible to me that this is still happening.

Kids being trained like adults.

I regularly see young athletes who don't have enough basic strength yet being drilled hard on the field of play.

The basics need to be addressed and a solid base of skills, strength and balance needs to be fostered before being drilled.

And don't even get me started on trainers that think the workout isn't over until someone has vomited. Seriously? this is still going on?

Think about that when choosing a trainer. Are they their for the betterment of your young athlete or to make themselves look good. Pick the one that chooses the high road: Functional over impressive.

Just a beef to pick today. More coming down the pipe.

Have a great day.

In health,

Todd
