One of the problems with the Youth Training industry!

What can I say? Some coaches still just don't get it!

My daughter will be a freshman at a local H.S and is wanting to play sports and do cheer. So she started training with the school and naturally each team will have their  own"conditioning program"as they should, but do they really know what they're doing?

My question to you and those coaches who lack vision is, Why would you train an adolescent 14 yr. old female the same way you would train a H.S. football player.

Answer: You wouldn't! 

Yet still these coaches will tell you they are different and they look at each kid as an "individual" while they're really duplicating the same old junk that has been the joke of the successful coaches in the industry.

Coaches need to know better!  Coaches need to look at the young developing athlete as just that, a DEVELOPING athlete! They have a developing nervous, endocrine and musculoskeletal system that wont respond favorably to the physical abuse handed out by "meathead" coaches- yes I did just say that!

Young developing athletes deserve the same attention to detail that your million dollar athlete gets and probably even more. 

If your child is in a training program that operates on the philosophy of "No Pain, No Gain" then do their developing bodies a favor and take them and run ...straight to RetroFIT Training Center.
