Female athletes are up to 8x more likely to suffer an ACL injury than their male counterparts.

That’s not a small gap. And for most young female athletes, it’s a risk they don’t even know exists.

The reasons are well documented — hormonal differences, wider Q-angle, different landing mechanics, and crucially, a lack of structured strength and conditioning work during the years when it matters most.

The good news? It’s not inevitable.

Proper S&C training — building hip strength, improving landing mechanics, developing body control under fatigue — directly reduces ACL injury risk. We know this. The research is clear.

The problem is most young female athletes aren’t getting it. They’re playing sport, going to training, working hard — but nobody is addressing the physical foundations that keep them on the pitch.

That’s exactly what we do at Child to Champion.

If your daughter plays sport, this is worth watching. 👆

He came in wanting to lose weight. He left winning competitions. In his 50s.

Wes joined FSH at 85kg, not sure if he could really change things at this stage of life. 15kg down, stronger than he’s ever been, and last weekend he won his Masters category in Enduro mountain biking.

Here’s what he said:
“I’ve achieved a level I never thought possible.”

“You think you know how to lose weight and eat healthily, but this was a real eye-opener. It’s been a proper education — something that can be maintained and repeated long term.”

“The programme is clearly personalised and tailored to my current fitness level and future goals.”

Wes didn’t just lose weight. He got fitter, more capable, and it transferred directly into the thing he loves most — riding his bike harder, longer, and better than before.

That’s what strength training in your 50s actually looks like. Not just numbers on a scale. Real performance. Real life improvements. Real confidence.

Structured. Personalised. Progressive. No guesswork.

What does a typical FSH session actually look like?

No mirrors. No intimidation. No one watching you.

Just a small group of like-minded adults, all on the same journey — and your coach.

Here’s how it runs:

First 10 minutes — mobility and movement prep. Getting your body ready to work, not just jumping straight in.

Then we move into power and strength work — tailored to YOU based on your individual profiling. Not a generic plan. Not what the person next to you is doing. Work designed around the qualities you need to improve your day-to-day life.

We finish with targeted accessory work — single leg strength, upper body, core — building the foundations that keep you moving well for years to come.

Every session. Every week. Consistent, structured, progressive.

This is what strength training should look like after 45.

The season is over. And most youth athletes will switch off for the entire summer and do nothing.

A couple of weeks off? Completely fine — the body needs rest. But when a couple of weeks turns into three months of zero physical preparation, they do not just stand still. They go backwards.

Strength fades. Movement patterns deteriorate. They walk into pre-season behind where they finished last season.

The ones who come back in September a different athlete — faster, stronger, harder to knock off the ball — are the ones who used this window properly.

The off-season is the only time of year with no match pressure, no fixtures, no recovery to manage. It is a clean block of time where real physical development can happen.

This is exactly what we do at Child to Champion. And we are getting close to capacity for the summer — so if you have been thinking about it, now is the time.

Three lads. Years of work. This is what happens when talent meets commitment 🏉

Finn, George, and Rory all came through Child to Champion training multiple times a week for years — gym sessions, speed academies, the full programme. They did not cut corners and they did not make excuses.

Here is where they are now:

Finn — professional contract at Cornish Pirates.
George — professional contract at Exeter Chiefs. England under-18s, under-19s, and under-20s caps.
Rory — playing at Camborne RFC, who have just been promoted to National One — the third tier of English rugby union, one below the Championship and two below the Premiership. England under-19s cap.

All three started at their local clubs — Perranporth, Truro, and Penryn.

This is what is possible when a young athlete has the right mindset, commits to their development, and puts in the work year after year.

We do not make athletes. We build the physical foundation that allows their talent to go as far as it can take them.

If your child plays sport and wants to see what they are truly capable of — this is the environment to find out.

Did you know that after 60, you can lose up to 3% of your muscle mass every single year?

It’s called sarcopenia, and it’s the reason why things that used to be easy—like carrying the heavy shopping bags, getting up off the floor, or just feeling sturdy on your feet—suddenly start to feel like a struggle.

Losing muscle isn’t just about how you look. It’s about feeling frail. It’s about losing your independence.

But here’s the good news: it is completely reversible.

You don’t have to just accept getting weaker as part of getting older. By starting a proper strength training routine, you can rebuild that lost muscle, get your strength back, and basically get your life back.

It’s never too late to start. If you’re ready to build real strength for the real world, drop us a message or hit the link in our bio to find out more about our Fit, Strong & Healthy programme.

Is your child playing too much sport?

2–3 matches a week. Multiple training sessions.School sport.

Yes, it’s brilliant for skill development and game understanding, but young athletes are not mini adults. They’re growing, developing bodies.

When high sporting volume is layered on top of growth spurts, poor recovery and little physical preparation, it can leave kids more exposed to overload and overuse issues such as Severs, Osgood-Schlatter and persistent niggles that stop progression.

At Child to Champion, we look to balance 3 key pillars:

• Physical preparation and strength development
• Recovery and recovery habits
• Weekly sporting and training load

Get the balance right and you give young athletes the best chance to stay healthy, keep performing, continue developing their skills and build long-term athletic foundations.

More sport isn’t always the answer. Better balance usually is.

Playing more sport is not the same as being prepared for sport.

Today’s young athletes are training harder than ever — more sessions, more tournaments, more matches. But their bodies are not automatically keeping up with those demands.

Growing bodies are under enormous stress. Bones, tendons, and muscles are all developing at different rates. Add high training loads on top of that, and you have a recipe for overuse injuries, performance dips, and burnout.

What makes it worse? Kids today are not getting the incidental physical preparation that previous generations took for granted. No climbing trees, no running wild in the park, no unstructured play that quietly built coordination, strength, and resilience. Almost everything is organised sport — and if there is no S&C alongside it, the body simply is not robust enough to handle the load.

This is exactly what we address at Child to Champion. We build the physical foundation that makes young athletes resilient, durable, and genuinely ready for the demands of their sport.

Want to see what that looks like in practice? Book a one-off trial session for £20 — fully redeemable against membership if you join. Link in bio.
