My athlete is less than 13 years old, is it safe (growth plate, and general injury) for them to participate in this program?
​
A: Research has shown that weight training and plyometric training for youth (8-13 years old) under Qualified Supervision to be safe and beneficial. Growth plate injuries are extremely rare and typically have to do with youth lifting without supervision and proper loading. Being a Doctor of Physical Therapy I have been trained and learned how to teach and supervise youth athletes.
​
With all athletes of any age we make sure they can replicate good form before we increase load and intensity.

​
Why is resistance training part of the program, can you improve vertical jump by doing body weight plyometrics alone?
​
A: It is possible to improve vertical jump with plyometrics alone, but there are 2 important reasons why I have decided to include resistance training:
​
1. Too many plyometrics can cause soft tissue and even bone injuries, the commonly used limit is less than 150 contacts per week.
​
2. Resistance training plus plyometric training has been shown to be more effective than just plyometric training on its own for improving vertical jump.

​
What if there is a week or more that I will be out of town?
​
A: In the registration form there is an option to let us know about what days/weeks you will have to miss. You can either have those workouts deducted from the payment or you can make the workouts up, it is up to you!
​
I'm concerned with my athlete being burned out by adding Performance Training
​
A: With athlete burnout, time commitment is a factor. However, Performance Training (weight training) is a great way to add variety to an athlete's schedule. Additionally, there are many benefits to adding weight training.
Weight training has been shown to:
Improve mood
Improve bone density
Decrease risk for injury
Improve overall confidence
Improve basal metabolic rate
​
While the time is a consideration the benefits go beyond just improving volleyball performance.
