The Columbia Athletic Training message to Parents and Coaches is simple –
Children and Teens are not small adults; that statement’s basic message ought to be obvious.
None of us would anticipate our 10 year old daughter to find a full time job and we would not be surprised if making the mortgage payment on time isn’t the very first concern our 15 year old has whenever he or she wakes up in the morning.
Why then in the sporting and fitness world do we anticipate young athletes and children to train, compete, think and react just like adults?
Too frequently, young athletes and children experience training systems which are frequently well beyond his or her structural and neurological abilities and taught to copy professional sporting superstars in their psychological approach to the game. Is this the way to create world-class athletes, or are there various concepts that we require to learn, understand and implement?
At Columbia Athletic Training we know the difference and ensure the success of your child in each and every aspect of sport and fitness.
