TOLong Term Athletic Development
If you think strength training is just a 3-6 month phase to prepare for the season or a showcase, you’re setting yourself up for failure. You’re missing out on crucial strength gains during the years that matter most.
Your teenage years are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development. If you don’t take advantage of it, you’re leaving strength, speed, and power on the table. Your body is primed for growth—hormones are working overtime to build muscle, improve coordination, and increase athleticism. But if you’re not training consistently, you’re falling behind.
Think about the best athletes. They have strength, power, speed, and size. If you ignore strength training and only focus on skill work, you won’t just stall your progress—you’ll become more injury-prone. Your competition isn’t skipping the weight room, and if you are, you’re making it easier for them to pass you.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can afford to neglect strength training, especially in-season. Just 2-3 sessions per week can keep you progressing. Saying you don’t have time? That’s an excuse. Your screen time says otherwise.
