Young Athletes and the qualifications needed to train them

I started my career by training nothing but Olympic Champions, National Team Competitors and Professionals Athletes.

But what I came to realize is that none of those experiences made me qualified to train young athletes. Neither would I be qualified if I had an Olympic Medal around my neck or a Super Bowl ring on my index finger.

We constantly mistake ‘big names’ or ‘big credentials’ as qualified.

Let me put it this way… The most impressive and decorated mathematician at NASA is a literal genius with the topic of math, but would you really think them qualified and ideal to teach your 7 year old son how to multiply?

Success in sport or at the highest level of Coaching doesn’t mean that one is suited to understand and be fluent in the unique sciences of youth sports training. Seek experience and education pertaining to the specialty at hand – not glitz and glamour.

Please, comment below… We truly want to hear your thoughts on this!

I founded the IYCA back in 2003.

Released it to market in late 2005.

The struggles have been many and the uphill climb steep.

But I wouldn’t have changed even one experience.

revealing look at how to TRULY train and develop young athletes.

Head Football Coach, John Reese, has this to say about it –

“I received your Complete Athlete Development system a few weeks
ago and have to say that so far am loving it. I have only just thumbed
through the exercises, but the other material is mind blowing to me….
I am happy I purchased the program because now I have the knowledge
to put better athletes on the field”

John’s comments are similar to hundreds of other emails and letters I’ve
received over the past few years about experiences Trainers and Coaches
have had with Complete Athlete Development.

Soon to come off the market for good, your chance to own this groundbreaking
collection and have it as a road map for training young athletes will soon be
gone…..
