It’s all fun and games until you enter the competitive world of youth sports. Youth Athletes usually have big dreams that end up followed by huge burnout. We want to turn that tide.
On the Athletes Lab podcast we will talk with with trainers, coaches and professionals in the youth athlete industry hoping to make an impact on the way youth athletes train and take care of themselves. It’s more than just playing the sport: it’s about keeping the body healthy physically and mentally, educating the athletes and the parents/coaches; all while remembering why we play the sport in the first place.
What does it mean to “have your head in the game”? Playing your sport extends past hard work and talent. It also encompasses your thought outlook before, during and after the game; as well as, where you find your value. And it’s not just for the individual athlete. The Mental Game is for parents, coaches and the whole team.
Cam Beard (HS Baseball Coach, Showcase Travel Ball Coach, BB/SBTrainer) talks with us about what makes for Effective Team Practices and the importance of coaching in regards to the players and parents. At the end of the day, "Are they playing for you OR are you Coaching for them?"
When most people think of Physical Therapy they automatically think Rehabilitation but why just Fix the problem when you can try to prevent them in the first place by taking care of the athletes body making it stronger; as well as, more powerful. Dr. Chelsea Lineberger sits down with us to talk about what youth athletes can do to help aid in Injury Prevention and increase their overall performance.
