![]() This week's S&C article comes from Rob Panariello, MS, PT, ATC, CSCS. Rob speaks to a number of vital points with sports performance programs for high school athletes. With the education level and more importantly, vast experience in both physical therapy and strength & conditioning, this article is a must read for strength coaches and even physical therapists who work with high school athletes. Rob highlights 7 key points..... #1 The High School Athlete Should Be Evaluated prior to Their Participation in an Athletic Performance Enhancement Training Program - Rob emphasizes how many HS athletes are essentially just thrown into a training program #2 The High School Athlete Must Be Prepared for the Initiation of a High Stress Athletic Enhancement Training Program - Each athlete should be considered as an individual, as certainly not every specific exercise may be appropriate for every athlete #3 The High School Athlete Should not Be Trained as a “Little Adult” - Program designs should be appropriate for the HS athletes age and training experience, not designed off a program/training prescription from experienced athletes(college, professional) #4 Emphasize Quality and not Quantity During Training - Applying increased intensity to an exercise that an athlete has poor technique with can lead to possible injury #5 Prescribe Appropriate Levels of Exercise Performance Volume - More is not always better. Intensity and volume go hand in hand #6 Don’t Make Powerlifters or Weightlifters of the High School Athlete - Absolute vs Relative strength - We use powerlifting and olympic lifting principles to train athletes for transfer to athletic performance (skill) #7 Be Sure the High School Athlete Recovers from Their Workouts - Consider nutrition, rest time, training, CNS, etc
