Coaches don’t just have to work with athletes but those of us working with jr high and high school kids have parents involved as well.

Hopefully everyone can be on the same page, and it’s the coaches job to help explain what is going on and why that approach is best.

However we all know that sometimes people just don’t take the recommendations seriously. That’s okay, do the best you can and don’t be afraid to let clients walk that don’t line up with what you are doing. Building a culture is the most important thing.

Why are there so many different training programs that actually work? Because training comes down to 3 primary principles. There are a lot of ways to implement a specific expertise or to arrange the training. What matters over a long time frame (the only time frame real results are gotten) are these principles.

1. Less to more - we have to continually do more to drive growth. This isn’t optional our bodies desire for homeostasis demands it.

2. Rotating the familiar and novel - we must do more yet our bodies cannot recover from and adapt to more forever. That’s why linear progression stops after your beginner years. This means we have to rotate to different stimuli and build qualities that support our main goal. One direction forever doesn’t cut it. Homeostasis works in our favor here though because as we do more in one direction, it’s easy to maintain other qualities. This allows for continuous growth.

3. Directionality - We have to have a goal to direct our training towards at least in competitive environments. This helps you determine what qualities are most important for your goal and roughly how long you should train these qualities. Speed is more important to a soccer player and strength for a defensive tackle. Only knowing the goal and that athletes ability in relation to those goals can determine this.

Learn to follow these principles, be consistent, and see how you respond to training. You find your best program by doing that not finding the secret workout.

We have fun and lift heavy.

Training youth athletes should be about fun.

The goal is for them to train for many years, not hate doing it and quit. Encourage them to be themselves while also making sure they understand when its time to work, its time to work.

Those two go in combination.

Only having fun and little progress gets made or they never learn what true hard training is. They also need to learn that hard work gets done in the gym. That matters.

But only enforce rigid discipline because you are here to do the work, and you create an environment no one wants to be in. That might work in college or the pros, although not that well, but with younger athletes it only forces most of them out of training or sports in general.

If I can help a jr high kid love lifting I have done my job no matter what they go on to accomplish in sports, and quite often, if they enjoy training they work harder longer getting significantly better in the process.
