One of the most common things I see with youth athletes is poor foot striking placement.
Where and how your foot hits the ground can directly impact your ability to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction.
As you can see, my athlete is striking heel-first, which can create unnecessary stress on the body and potentially increase injury risk.
Teaching proper foot placement early can help athletes move more efficiently, build better movement patterns, and perform with confidence.
