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.
