Pro day ready! Let’s get it !

It’s an absolute pleasure to support athletes like yourself. We will be plugged in here on the west coast my guy.

Words cannot express how much focus and work has been put in thus far in the offseason. Now go get it my dude. 💪

understands how important long term athletic development is.

Kids aren’t having fun anymore because it’s become more about showcases and games than it is about fun.

Many are pressured to play one sport so they don’t “fall behind” and in some cases punished if they play other sports at a young age.

Prior to high school kids should be encouraged to play other sports.

This only helps their development. Most elite athletes did this. It works.

Great original post by 🙏

The results have been in… specializing younger is not the model to be successful long term.

We need to get over this model where we think a 10 year old needs to chase tournaments and showcases ever weekend, needs to have private skills coaching on off days, needs to play one sport year round in any way possible.

We are burning out and pushing young children into higher risk of life changing injuries.

We need to prioritize long term development. More practice, more unstructured play, more multi-sports when the child is younger than high school age.

Something HAS to give…

No it’s not go find as many tournaments and show cases year round nor is it to fill every single day with private lessons.

It’s expose your young athletes to more variety and allow them to explore sports because they do transfer (especially at young ages).

If variety isn’t achievable, strength training that involves play becomes even more important.

Kids are not getting general development anymore and we wonder why there is so many injuries and burnouts at such an early age.

Nick Saben really valued when players played multiple sports.

He’s been on the record speaking to the value it has for an athlete and how it’s helped him recruit.

Though it’s becoming less popular I still believe it is so important to develop general athleticism to both reduce injury risk as well as burnout.

If playing another sport is just not in the cards I think the next best thing to do is to strength train 2-3x a week year round (yes even during season).

Reminder that it takes time. A lot of time.

Kobe knew how to keep realistic expectations and that the focus is on the consistent work over time. Not the outcomes.

said it!

🚀 Burnout and injuries in youth athletes are at an all time high.

🤨 Maybe it’s time we start asking more questions and being a little bit more critical about the way things are currently done.

WAYYY too much stock is being put into skills training versus developing general athletic qualities.

Are skills important? No duh. But a better question is, will this human even care about this sport 4 years later?

Why not develop physical tools that transfer from sport to sport and develop a HEALTHY relationship with physical activity.

😤 These kids deserve better. Period.

Shout out to and who has been openly discussing this topic over the past couple years now. It’s appreciated more than you know. 🫡

nails it here.

Most professional athletes played multiple sports even in high school. Yet we have kids specializing in one sport at the age of 10.

Then we wonder why burnout numbers and catastrophic and overuse injuries are way up…

I understand there are a lot of social pressures to playing one sport. This is why I think strength and conditioning programs are more important than ever. And not just in the off-season.

If you play one sport I think you should be in a strength and conditioning program year round without exception. This provides the general athleticism that one sport doesn’t always give and it also ensures to limit the hours that could otherwise be used to overtrain.

If you care about your young athlete, I would invest in their future by exposing them to as many sports as possible when possible and if not, strength training 2x a week all year round.
