Strength Training For Teens
Who is this Strength Training course for?
This course is designed specifically for Teenage Athletes who want to increase their strength, power, muscle development; and ultimately athletic performance.
Learning how to Squat, Deadlift, Press and Pull and are technical skills that require guidance and practice, in order to perform them safely and maximise their benefits.
A wide base of development is crucial, in order for the young athlete to reach their potential. Strength training plays a key role in:
Improving muscle and bone mass;
Increasing Rate of Force Development (Power);
Treating any muscular imbalances/improving weaknesses;
Increasing resilience to injury;
Improved mobility;
Becoming a more disciplined and all-round better athlete.
This course will emphasise correct technique first, before asking athletes if they feel confident to increase the intensity.
The training methods taught on this course are based on scientific research, and Long Term Athlete Development models from successful Weightlifting countries.
Young people have different requirements in comparison to Adults when it comes to strength training. These requirement change, depending on both chronological and lifting age; and these factors will be taken into account on the course.
