Changing Exercises for Young Athletes

When working with young athletes who are beginners in training, it is essential to prioritize building a strength foundation. While strength forms the basis for developing speed and power, it is crucial to include some jumps and sprints in their programming alongside strength training. The reasoning behind incorporating box jumps for young athletes lies in them being a low-risk and enjoyable exercise that complements strength training by introducing elements of power development. By focusing on strength as the main course and integrating jumps and sprints as supplementary exercises, young athletes can progress effectively while minimizing the risk of injury.
