A sample program for you

Hey ,

In my Complete Athlete Development system, I have created 1-month
Sample Training Programs for athletes in the 6 - 9, 10 - 13 and
14+ age categories for you to use at your leisure.

Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of giving away sample programs.

It's not that I'm 'secretive' about my training system...

Far from it!

In Complete Athlete Development, not only have I created 1-month programs for you to use, but I also offer my entire Training
Template which shows you how to create endless programs for yourself regardless of the age of sport of your athletes.

There's even 150+ minutes of DVD footage showing me coaching
my own athletes so you can see live and in color, everything I
know about training speed, agility, strength and coordination.

No, the reason I don't like giving away programs is because
a program can't possibly work in 100% of the situations, 100%
of the time.

I don't know how many athletes you have, what kind of location
you're coaching in, what sort of equipment you have available
or what your own coaching skills are like.

So for me to say 'here, use this' would be completely counter to
what I believe about the ART of working with kids.

It's more than the program, ...

... It's what you do with it.

But I also think it's important to give you the basic system I
use to create programs and encourage you to alter, change or
add to them in order to fit your particular needs.

So, here's a sample program I've included in my Complete Athlete
Development system.

It's designed for athletes in the 10 - 13 year old range:

Push-Up (opposite holds) - 3 sets, 5 per side
1-Leg Ipsilateral Squat/Reach - 3 sets, 8 per side
2-Foot Jump to Rope - 15 jumps
Backwards High Skips - 3 sets, across floor
Ankle Alphabet - 2 sets per ankle
Drop Ball - 5 minutes

Lunge Circuit - 3 sets, 5 reps per direction
Front Squat (8 sets, 5 reps) + Prone Cobras
Bear Crawl - 4 sets, across gym

Leg ins - 3 sets,  per side
Static Active Leg Raise (rotation) - 3 sets per leg

This should take about 45 minutes or so with a group of 5 - 10
young athletes.

As you can see, it really has no fixed concentration per say.

General physical prep, strength/strength technique, movement
aptitude and mobility are all highlighted.

This is the kind of thing you can expect with Complete Athlete
Development.  Programs complete with exercise photographs,
descriptions, examples of how you can use these in your own
training sessions and even DVD footage of programs like these
at work and in real time.

'Till next time,

Brian
