Young
athletes

Most
young athletes run by instinct and although very natural, they can pick-up
bad habits that stay with them through the rest of their career.
If
they are playing competitive sport then their Speed and Biomechanics
can be affected by a number of factors, but the two most common factors
are injury and growth rate. If the youngster has had a previous injury
and has not gone through the correct rehabilitation, then even if they
do not have pain, it will affect their biomechanics and their speed.
More importantly it stops
them from improving and can lead to more serious injuries, which have
curtailed many a promising athletic career.
The primary objective in our training of young athletes
is to focus on the motor learning to train the correct Movement rather
than the Muscle, it's the movement that determines the function of the
muscle, not the opposite.
We improve the biomechanical movements for youngsters in all sports-
football, rugby, basketball, athletics - and all ages, by teaching the
body and the mind the correct motor patterns and creating/developing
Motor Engrams, which are permanent maps formed after repeating a movement
or skill many times.
We then develop their Speed. Our Speed development
programmes for young athletes starts from the age of 9 years old.
We also educate the coaches
and the athletes on the best ways to stimulate the neuromuscular system
to recruit and contract motor units simultaneously. This leads to the
improvement of one of the most important of all components: QUICKNESS!
Stimulating the neuromuscular system to recruit and contract motor units
simultaneously and by increasing the strength of the contraction.
