THE HOGLES!! Our athletes this week are Vivian and Penny!
These two early session warriors are some of our most consistent athletes. They’re an ETS Lansing staple. Two of our morning regulars.
They embody the ETS standards of elite focus, effort and dedication day in and day out.
In only a month of training they’ve made tremendous strides, and become a huge positive influence on the culture and environment we’ve built here at the gym.

Why is strength training at a young age so valuable?
With consistent coaching, strength training can play a massive role in a young athlete’s development.
It allows them to develop strength in positions difficult to train with their bodyweight alone. Starting simple and mastering skill and technique lays the foundation for future success.
It also allows them to load the positions where they’re strongest, increasing their ability to produce force when and where it matters.
Most young athlete’s bodies will grow faster than their strength can keep up. Training with loads below their bodyweight can allow them to continue to develop their strength as their body grows, and rise to their new level of competition.
Overhead strength is a great example, shown in the slides above. Loading these movements with weight allows athletes to continue to grow their overhead shoulder strength as their bodies develop.
At ETS each athlete’s program grows with them. Designed to meet them where they’re at and put them in the best possible position to develop to the highest level of their potential.

“Potential means you haven’t done anything yet” -Bill Parcells
Every athlete has potential, but the desire to work and sacrifice in order to reach it is what separates the “could’ve beens” from the “greats”
