Systematic & Evidence-Based
While youth athletes need to move, and move often in many directions, a systematic approach to training is beneficial. Systems of training create:
accountability for both the youth athlete and athletic performance specialist.
levels of progressions and regressions to ensure challenges are relative and specific to the needs and abilities of each youth athlete individually
levels of progressions and regressions also provide a “dangling carrot” for youth athletes as there is always a new challenge to try and conquer.
opportunities for consistent successes to build confidence and empowerment as they work through the system.
variety to the sessions to avoid boredom and monotony.
Categories of Movement Skills
Adapted from Myer, Lloyd, Brent, and Faigenbaum, 2013
Within a typical 60-minute training session, a RISE athlete could perform between 30 - 96 repetitions of each of the 7 integrated movements!
And many repetitions across the 7 integrated movements consistently programs their brain and muscles to connect in a wide variety of movement patterns which will increase their confidence and physical literacy to last through adulthood.
