This past Saturday was the first time I saw a bunch of my in-season athletes since Fall sports have started
Most of my athletes play a fall sport but their main sport is basketball
I love that my young athletes play multiple sports and that the know the importance of strength training
Every training session, I start by asking each athlete:
How they you feeling?
Are you sore?
How’s school?
How’s volleyball or soccer?
Do you have a lot of homework this weekend?
What’s your plans this weekend?
These questions usually give me everything I need to coach the training session
I keep this all in mind when we trained Saturday and the focus was restoring movement quality, foam rolling, mobility, recovery work and strength (core, deadlifts, squats, pushes pulls)
In- season training this early in the fall high school sport season is to make sure they stay healthy for the rest of the season and continue to improve and get better in October and November
I also use these sessions as a release, an outlet for these athletes to get some stress out 🙂
This is why in season training is so important
If I can help with your daughter’s in season training or your teams, let me know

PS: Whenever you are ready to train in-season, here are 3 ways I can help:
1. Managing the Female Athlete with Dr. Steph Allen
Sunday, September 22nd in Waltham,Mass at 930am
This 90 minute workshop will be broken up into two parts: lecture and hands on
Dr. Steph Allen will be discussing some important topics surrounding ACL risk reduction, including the role that a solid, consistent year round strength training program plays in the process. She will be touching on some basic statistics surrounding this injury, the proposed reasons why the injury rates are what they are, the support for risk reduction training programs and what a “good” program looks like. She will bring it full circle by taking a look at the bigger picture and highlighting some of the research supporting the benefits of strength training for all youth athletes.
In the hands on section we will go over risk factors for injuries, talk about movement quality, what should be staples in a training program and a take home workout you can do on your own from everything you learned at this workshop!
These two events are designed to provide resources to help you become a better athlete or coach and help educate parents who’s daughters play sports
