S03E113 How Young is Too Young For CrossFit? Challenges, Victories, and Guidelines


Listen Later

Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic dive straight into the world of CrossFit for younger athletes as we unravel the complexities of coaching and safety guidelines. We talk about our rule of 14 and older, with a parent present for those under 16. The importance of understanding one's body before attempting challenging lifts is also discussed. We also discuss the unique circumstances of teenagers in fitness training, touching on potential risks associated with teenage athletes' lack of awareness, focus, and emotional readiness. 

In addition to tips on how to foster intrinsic motivation for fitness in your children, starting with creating positive experiences, we move on to discuss the safety considerations for all CrossFit participants, specifically those who may be considered at risk due to age or physical limitations. Finally, we deliberate on the tricky balance between introducing kids to CrossFit too early and holding them back from reaping its benefits. So, tune in and let's navigate the world of CrossFit for young athletes together!
