“She already practices several days a week. How are we supposed to fit in strength training too?”
We hear this from parents often—and we understand why.
Between practices, games, school, homework, tournaments and everything else, young athletes already have a lot on their plates.
But here’s the distinction we want parents to understand:
Sport practice and strength training aren’t doing the same job.
Practice gives your daughter opportunities to develop the skills she needs for her sport.
Strength training gives her an opportunity to intentionally develop physical qualities that support her as an athlete—things like strength, power, coordination, body control and movement skills.
That doesn’t mean the answer is simply more, more, more.
Smart athlete development means considering the whole picture: her sport schedule, strength training, recovery, nutrition, sleep and life outside athletics.
That’s a big part of what we’re building through StrongHer.
We don’t want to add workouts just for the sake of doing more.
We want the training she does to have a purpose. 💜
