Summary

If you haven’t heard, we partnered with TrainHeroic to bring you online training! This platform and our programs are not for absolutists and elitists. These are for people who want real world strength but also have real world schedules. Whether you have professional/personal constraints but still want to get after it, need smart modified training or just want a break from the mental stress of having to program for yourself... this resource was created for you. We provide these programs and videos through the TrainHeroic app, so head to the link below and check it out! https://artofcoaching.com/training/ If you’re a parent or have worked with children at any point in your career, this episode is for you. Sharing best practices and current research, today’s guest, Jim Kielbaso, helps us tackle the tough questions about training youth: What’s the right age for my kids to start lifting weights? Can training be harmful for development? How many sports should they play? How can I improve their running form? How do I deal with coaches who think they should go to a million showcases and or practice non-stop? Jim is the president of the International Youth Conditioning Association (IYCA) and the director of the Total Performance Training Center in Wixon, Michigan. He’s a former college strength and conditioning coach, and author of multiple books. With 25 years of experience in the field and three kids of his own, we are so fortunate to have our guest share his expertise on the subject.
