Most junior athletes are never formally taught how to run—it’s simply something they do naturally. As a result, there are often significant differences in speed and agility between athletes. While genetics play a role, we can enhance running efficiency and refine mechanics to help them reach their full potential.
Want to know the truth about youth athletic development?
In a world where more is often seen as better, the right physical preparation can be the difference between your child succeeding or falling short.
When children are young, encouraging them to try a wide range of sports is ideal. Running, jumping, swimming, and playing builds a solid foundation for their future athleticism. The more diverse their experiences, the better equipped they are for adolescence.
But as they grow, challenges arise. Rapid physical changes make them more vulnerable to injury. Increased training demands and pressure to perform can overwhelm them. Many young athletes are pushed too hard, for too long, until they break.
The key to balancing multiple sports, training sessions, school, and social life is developing their athletic potential off the field. Teaching athletes to jump, land, run, push, pull, and build resilience against injuries is essential. It helps them keep progressing while others are forced to take time off.
This approach is our ‘secret weapon’. While most athletes simply train harder, our athletes dedicate part of their training to mastering movement skills. Learning to move well not only prevents injuries but also lays a strong foundation for future success.
For young athletes aspiring to go professional, every advantage counts. Our Emerging Athlete Program offers that edge—building strong, resilient, and well-rounded athletes who are prepared to excel when it matters most.
