Deep dives

Varied Approach to Athletic Development

At Achieve Performance Training, there is a varied approach to athletic development based on the age group. For high school and college athletes, technical proficiency and progression in strength training is prioritized. The older group focuses on power exercises, plyometrics, speed development, and agility work. In contrast, the younger group (11-14 years old) participates in movement-based warm-ups, balance activities, and crawling exercises to improve coordination and flexibility. The emphasis is on exposing them to movement variability and ensuring they have fun. Measurement-wise, weightlifting progress and speed testing are important, while formal assessments are introduced later as kids reach a growth spurt.
