Is My Young Athlete Ready For The Gym?

As a parent, where do you start when an athlete wants or needs to introduce strength and conditioning into their training schedule? This book has been written to help you ask the right questions, gain an understanding of the things you need to consider before your athlete starts a strength and conditioning program, and dispel some common myths attached to strength training for youth. This book will give you the knowledge and confidence to make the best decisions for your young athlete. The book will provide you with a strength and conditioning checklist and a red flag guide.
There is a scoring system to rate a strength and conditioning service, which addresses the myths of strength and conditioning. It teaches you the pros and cons of getting it right or wrong, explains the different types of trainer qualifications, and discusses training loads and what they mean.
