In this episode I first off have a massive thank you to all of you who download and listen to this podcast. 

Into the nitty gritty, youth speed development. I talk through the importance of speed and putting each athlete in the right environment to not only improve their speed and physical capabilities but also maximize their skillsets to be a great all round athlete and find their way into a sporting career because the sport selects the athlete. 

Why it's important for an athlete to practice the skill they are aiming to be fast at. DON'T coach them to be slow!!!!

A summary of the 3 key pointers to developing speed in younger athletes;
1- Variety
2- Practice
3- Match Play

In this episode I mention a specific video on my YouTube channel aimed at practicing change of direction you can find it here > https://youtu.be/uEJrJTq3Gb4

The commonly held misconception around youth training completely busted wide open once and for all. 

For too long the general public have believed resistance training for kids causes damage to growth and development. It's time to turn the tables towards correct information.

This episode is the first one back after a little bit of a time out and as such I use this to discuss a little bit as to why but also delve into the examples presented to us by other elite athletes right now. 
Examples include; Simone Biles, Ben Stokes and Phil Jones.

Hopefully there are some thought provoking moments as well as useful tips and tricks you can implement. 

Enjoy the show!

Hello and welcome again to another episode of The Lenko Show where we discuss all things health and performance. 

In this Episode I sit down with Adam Neal who has an incredible CV in Rugby League earning a Scholarship and then playing professionally for Warrington, Salford and representing England at youth level. It would be wrong if I didn't question him on the mentality it takes to take full advantage of those opportunities which have to be earned. This turns into something which isn't just relevant advice for young athletes but also solid life advice for anyone looking to improve their own health. 

We delve into discussing personal responsibility (always a popular topic on this show), the possibility of drastically over achieving your goals in the gym and accidentally becoming MASSIVE (this is a genuine concern for some people and quite frankly it's.... ridiculous!

As Adam is an expert coach who has a wealth of experience in training through his career as an athlete AND as a trainer we obviously had to speak about training splits and making sure you get the most out of your time in the gym. Believe it or not the simple things usually work best when applied with consistency and reasonable intelligence... maybe there is a reason Adam highlights women as generally training better than men in the gym... could ego possibly be involved...?

The final points in this podcast look at some pretty trivial stuff such as the world hotdog eating contest, lemonade drinking AND IS IT COMING HOME??????
