Exploring Performance Training and Team Dynamics in Youth Sports

After winning the 1998 National Championship at Tennessee and serving as Captain of the 2001 team, Will Bartholomew's football career ended in his first year with the Denver Broncos due to a devastating knee injury. Will took his passion for sports and training and founded D1 Training, one of the nation's fastest growing performance training centers for young athletes, with over 150 locations (and growing) across the United States. As a dad of three athletes, one playing D1 football, Will shares valuable insights into the world of youth sports from his own experiences as a player and dad. Will also shares valuable information for our audience on the importance and impact of formalized training, why it matters, when kids should begin, and much more.
