Strength Training and Injury Prevention for Youth Athletes!
Improve Strength, Flexibility, and Overall Health with a program designed for youth athletes by Coach Xan Barksdale and Eric Hammer C.S.C.S.
Youth sports have grown exponentially over the past 10-15 years, but the strength training and injury prevention aspect hasn’t changed. That’s one of the reasons that more and more athletes are suffering from injuries when they reach Junior High, and High School ages. They’re asking their bodies to play 3, 4, or 5 times as many games as athletes did a few years ago, but their conditioning hasn’t evolved!
That’s why I, Coach Xan Barksdale, have joined forces with one of the premier strength coaches in the NCAA. Eric Hammer C.S.C.S is the strength and conditioning coach for the University of Louisville and worked with Team USA Baseball in 2009. Together, we have created a program that is specifically designed for youth athletes. This program is great for athletes in:
Baseball Basketball Football Soccer Volleyball Track and Field Tennis Golf and every other sport!
The Strength Training for Youth Athletes program is packed with information on these topics:
Program Overview Performance Assessments Performance Nutrition The Workout Plan Regeneration
Program Overview
First, we are going to outline exactly what to expect in this program and what it takes to make this program work for you.
This is what’s listed in the Program Overview:
Standing out above everyone else. Philosophy behind Strength Training for Youth Athletes. Training principles.
Performance Assessments
Each athlete that starts this program will be in a different physical condition and the Performance Assessment will ensure that you know your starting point so that you can gauge your performance. It is important to regularly measure your performance because it will help keep you motivated and set new goals for yourself.
The Performance Assessment will generate a Performance Index based on:
Power Strength Speed Agility Conditioning Body Composition
Performance Nutrition
Most young athletes aren’t aware of the fuel that they’re putting into their body and how it can affect their performance on the field. A good, balanced diet will help athletes reach their peak performance while a poor diet will hinder an athlete’s performance and overall health.
This section of the book will cover:
How, when, and what to eat. A sample ideal eating day for morning or evening workouts. Overview of each of the three macronutrients (Protein, Carbohydrates, and Healthy Fats). Pre, During, and Post workout fueling. Hydration strategies. Overview on sleep. Guide to nutritional supplements.
The Workout Plan
The Workout Plan includes a 16 week total body strength gain and conditioning program. This program changes each week based on the strength gains that the athlete is making. There are four separate 4-week periods and each contain a: Base Week, Load Week, X-Load Week, and an Unload Week.
This is designed to:
Maximize strength gains. Reduce the risk of injury. Increase lean body mass.
Regeneration
When athletes go through intense physical workouts (practice, workouts, conditioning, or competition) the body breaks down. In order for the muscles to grow back larger and stronger there are particular events that must occur…this is known as Regeneration.
We teach athletes about the R4 system to help them maximize their gains:
Rehydration – replacing fluids Repletion – replenishing glycogen (fuel) stores Repair – repairing muscle tissue (reducing muscle breakdown) Reduce – reducing the damaging effects of post-exercise tissue inflammation.
“Strength Training for Youth Athletes has been specifically tailored to maximize strength gains and reduce the risk of injury.”
Eric Hammer C.S.C.S., Strength Coach University of Louisville and Team USA Baseball
“This program is designed for young athletes who are wanting to get stronger and take great care of their bodies.”
