Sports training for kids

I get a lot of questions from parents asking about training for their kids. They've been spending countless dollars on pitching, hitting, volleyball, lacrosse, SAQ camps and not seeing the results. I always tell them. Your spending your money in the wrong place. Unless that athlete has a good foundation, i.e.. joint mobility, muscle flexibility and core strength, you are not going to see the gains that you are chasing with your hard earned dollars. If an athlete has tight hips he or she will not get the maximum benefit of learning how to drive off the mound towards the plate with pitching lessons, or becoming linearly faster because they can't get the knee up high enough to produce maximal force from SAQ training. A good Coach will tell you this is important!

Remember you can't build a house on a weak foundation and expect it to survive!

Another Tough Mudder !

On November 3 2013 Another group from The  Factory braved the 12 mile 28 obstacle Tough Mudder in Central Florida. We had a small group compared to last year and the year before. I had to sit this one out because of knee surgery, but I was there in spirit! Here are some pics for the event. the Participants were Wade Diekman, Louise Crocitto, Lorrie Lindsey and Liz Stanley Synder.

 

 

Congrats goes out to those that participated. Lets do it again in 2014!
