Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 1107028, member: 874"] What age group are we working with? The problem I'm seeing with current youth sports conditioning is 1. moving into using heavy explosive movements before they have control with just body weight movements (I was recently treating a high school aged football player with bilateral fractures of his transverse processes on one of his vertebrae. He was to0 weak to do a plank, but his coaches had him doing hang cleans power cleans and thrusters) 2. Doing movements they don't have the proper mobility to perform safely 3. Improper coaching in regard to technique (especially with olympic style movements). I have a friend that is a certified youth strength and conditioning coach. He does all kinds of assessment testing before he even starts exercise. I know he follows a lot of the experts in the field. I can get some stuff from him for you. [/QUOTE]
