[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious: Are you seeing results if your kids are consistently doing performance training (say 2-4x per week)?  [/quote]

Depends on what kind of results you’re looking for. Of course training will make a difference. However, depending on how naturally coordinated and athletically gifted (including physical traits that are genetically endowed), some kids will have more significant improvements than others.

If you have a kid with slow twitch muscles, you’re not going to turn them into a superstar sprinter.

If you have a kid who is uncoordinated, you could help them improve their coordination but they probably will never be a D1 recruit.

Help your kid be their best but don’t assume that practice and sweat equity means anything is possible, and don’t tell them that either. It’s a lie.[/quote]

Specifically, injury prevention (avoiding growth plate issues for a teen) and building fast twitch fibers.  DC is currently in the 50% in speed on a good team,  coordinated, strong, and has good endurance, but lacks quick starts that DC needs to keep progressing and push into the top quartile on the team.  I wonder if it's worth the investment versus working out at home on Peloton Tread and Peloton Strength or just YouTube follow-along workouts plus sprinting on the track. [/quote]

Try it out for about 6-8 weeks. If it’s going to make a difference for your child, you’ll see improvement in that time. [/quote]
