Positive Baseball

No matter how big, strong or fast a kid is, adult resistance training programs, guidelines and philosophies should NOT be imposed on youth resistance training clients/athletes. Coaches, trainers and parents should prescribe workloads on an individual basis, instead of setting one workload protocol/program for a group of young athletes. (think-Football/Baseball team) Usually the volume and intensity surpasses the kid's capabilities and does not provide enough rest between activities to allow adequate recovery time. 

Overloading a child or assigning a weight training regimen that exceeds the kid's abilities will not only reduce the enjoyment of said activity, it greatly increases the risk of injury. 

Just because a kid is developed anatomically, it does not mean they are developed biologically. More often than not, long term athletic development becomes stifled by lifting too much weight, too often, without being taught proper technique and not enough time allowed to recover. 

Now that things are slowing down a bit for us at PBD, in the coming months I should have a bit more time to focus on developing more strength and conditioning, nutrition and other articles/programs to maximize your physical development as sport specific athletes. 

Here at Positive Baseball Development Inc. we are committed 100% to help YOU get better and perform at a higher level. Let's get better together, shall we?
