Training Middle School-Early High School Level Student-Athletes. What are we Looking to Accomplish.9/10/2019 By now I hope the training world is up to speed with research to know that young kids not only can, but absolutely should lift weights. Given this, it’s important to understand why it is so important and what we should look to accomplish with our young beginners.

Many months of weight training and conditioning have lead up to the competitive season.
What now? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this when I ask an athlete this question. “Did you guys lift in season?” The answer is either a simple “no, not really,” or something like, “we did for like the first two weeks then kind of just stopped.” There’s a lot of stigma around athletes continuing to use resistance training during competitive season(especially with football.) I want to make clear that not only should athletes continue to train in season, but it is imperative. Here we will dive into why it is so important to train in season, and how we should train. |
