🔴 🎥 Short clip from the Youth Performance Training Academy Winter block 🔴

… When young athletes develop strength, speed, and agility early, they gain the physical capacity needed for the demands of higher-level sport as they mature. They can learn sport skills faster and perform them better…

The structure of the Academy helps educate the athletes on proper warm-ups, why we do certain drills at certain times within a session, technical proficiency in movements, how to cool down and what stretch works what muscles to name a few. These athletes also learn to respect the equipment they use, gym etiquette & safety.

The Academy hopes to develop positive habits the young athletes can use as they get older to enhance their training and longevity of their health and fitness.

🔴 The Youth Performance Training Academy 🔴

New block starts next week and I am looking forward to coaching these athletes for another block and welcoming the new ones ☺️

Not only did the group developed speed and power from learning a clean variation in the last block - Tall Hang Clean. They learnt - bar safety, technique and confidence. They also developed coordination, timing and focus by performing the movement to a command as they progressed.

From broom handle to bar and various sequences around this movement I am delighted with their progress and ability. They should all be extremely proud of themselves.

We discuss the importance of the carry over to various sports and sporting examples. It’s important youths have understanding of the whys and hows. This will help them apply their knowledge to their own training later in life too.

Keep being awesome Youth Group and see you all next week 😎

🔴 The Youth Performance Training Academy 🔴

Here is Alex an Orkney Footballer & Badminton Player demonstrating his athletic development in the Plyometric section of the class. He’s performing Single leg jumps, over varying hurdle heights in a multi directional pattern.

Some Benefits include
✅ Explosive Power Development – strengthens the ability to generate force quickly from one leg, useful in sprinting, jumping, and cutting in sports .

✅ Balance & Stability – challenges the ankle, knee, and hip stabilizers, reducing risk of injuries like ankle sprains or ACL tears. This also builds joint stability and strengthens the muscles around the knee and ankle.

✅ Agility & Coordination – improves body control when changing direction or reacting to obstacles/opponents. This can also encourage proprioception (body awareness) for safer, more efficient movement helping become a more robust athlete

🔴 In the Performance Training Academy there is always a programmed plyometric section. I believe it is extremely important section in the class as it helps develop fundamental athletic qualities safely and effectively and allows each athlete to work at their own ability/level under my guidance.
