Train your child like a professional strength coach!

In my previous newsletter, I discussed why hiring a professional to design a strength and conditioning program was in the best interest of both child and parent. And at the top of the list was safety, structure, and long term development. However, I realize that many of you like my dad, will actually be your child’s first personal trainer. 

My dad and I spent hundreds of hours in our back yard shooting basketball, throwing baseball, and lifting weights. This type of one-on-one interaction with my father was very special to me, but my father wasn’t quite satisfied. I still remember the day he said to me, “if only I knew what I was doing.” And, I’m sure many of you feel the same way. 

So in honor of my dad and all the parents out there who are in the same position he was in, I have created an eBook to support you. Included are the actual program design templates used to train my son (13) and a basketball teammate for the first time in their lives as well as an appendix that briefly describes each component of the program.     

The book is a testament of my love for my dad, my son, and my 15-year career as a strength and conditioning coach. It is a full circle moment for me as I reflect on the many hours I spent training with my dad. Train like a pro, but more importantly enjoy the time you spend with your child. They’ll remember it for the rest of their lives.
