FAQ
Youth Athletes
Why should a youth athlete lift?
Body awareness and coordination are key to a player’s success, and the weight room provides a controlled environment to develop these skills. Sports put stress on the body, often leading to breakdowns, but training in the gym helps strengthen muscles to meet the demands of the game and repair damage. This not only boosts performance but also helps athletes feel better on the field, increasing their chances for success.
Why should my player do two-way youth and not just hit or pitch?
At a young age, players don’t need a set position; focusing on all aspects of the game helps them develop versatility, opening up more opportunities as they grow. While players will eventually take on specific roles, allowing their skills to develop naturally lays a strong foundation for the future.
What is more important for my athlete to focus on? The skills side of the game or the weight room?
Ideally, players should focus on both skill development and strength training. Building motor control, hand-eye coordination, and understanding game demands helps young athletes progress. Strength training can accelerate motor development, reduce overuse injuries, and improve posture. While overuse injuries often come from playing too many games in a short time, the key for younger athletes is to make training fun and rewarding. Striking a balance between play and structured training is essential for long-term development.
