Lifting during the year.

It is my opinion, that lifting should be maintained through the year and seasons of sports.  One main reason I am really emphatic about it is because many of the girls are involved in many sports.  Their bodies are taking on a lot and lifting helps to keep connective tissue strong and reduces the rate of injury dramatically.  Also, their body stays healthier longer through the season, this allows a very fruitful end of the season.

We have had the girls do BFS through the summer which worked out well.  We modified somethings part way through and added some advanced plyo stuff.  All the girl athletes were on the same program. 

One thing to keep in mind, is some individuals require a different attention because of injury or dysfunction.  I will try and keep an eye out for that, but I am counting on the athlete to come and talk to me.  I will be more than happy to help them the best I can.

Lastly, as far as lifting during the seasons it is a maintenance thing, and I can be more specific depending on the sport and the athlete's needs, so again please contact me.

Thank you!
