Athletic Training Is Necessary For Developing Athletes
As summertime winds down and school starts up again, athletes are gearing up for the fall sports season. Whether you are getting ready for Friday nights under the lights, a potential state championship soccer season, a big dance recital, or a record-breaking cross-country time, as an athlete, you know the importance of preparation and training. Young athletes are constantly looking for that edge over their competition, but many athletes fail to realize the benefits of proper athletic training. Time and time again, we have athletic training can be the missing link that helps you take your game to the next level this season.
Sure, as an athlete, you probably have team training, lifting, and practice throughout the season, which is great – it gives you the opportunity to bond with your teammates, build a relationship with your coaches, and show off your athletic abilities. But team training does have its downfalls.
Athletic Practice and Training
Practice and training sessions are often-times scaled as a large group activity. Coaches must limit their one-one-one time with individual athletes, focusing on the group as a whole instead. As an athlete, you need constant attention during athletic training in order to ensure that your form is correct, you are putting in a hundred percent effort, and you are building upon each training session. These three components are key to improving your abilities during training.
And while some teams are lucky enough to have athletic trainers or strength and conditioning coaches, many teams have a more limited staff consisting of a few coaches who are not well versed in sports science. Not to downplay these coaches’ abilities, but sports science is just that… a science. It takes years of furthering-education to develop the knowledge and skills to properly train an athlete. Coaches without these skills and knowledge are limited in their abilities to properly training athletes, especially young men and women who are still physically developing.
So, while practice and team training do have their benefits, serious athletes know that in order to take their game to the next level, they must seek the help of skill athletic trainers.
