Dive into the real reason young athletes are struggling with overuse injuries—and it’s not just too much playing time. We’ll break down the science-backed benefits of strength training for kids aged 8-12, how it lowers injury risk, and why skill work alone isn’t enough for long-term success in baseball, soccer, hockey, and basketball.

Join us as we discuss myths vs. facts about youth strength training, share practical at-home exercises, and explore how a simple training program can improve performance and keep kids in the game longer. Whether you’re a parent, coach, or young athlete, this episode will give you the tools to train smarter, not just harder.

Tune in now and start building a stronger future for youth sports!
