Course Overview:

Youth sport represents the most physically active stage of human (athlete) development. However, youth athletes are not just mini adult versions of the best sports stars on the planet. Parents & coaches search for the best training programs to enhance the physical ability of youth athletes.

Coaches with the support of parents need to understand the long-term athletic development components at play with youth athletes and players to best determine a strategy. Understanding both the physical and psychological stages that occur, accompanied by the behavioral changes, will help coaches and parents choose the right development path.
