I always recommend seeking out qualified medical professionals if you have any specific questions about your health or the health of your kids.
I want to start by looking at a survey done by the United States Olympic Committee. Olympians Who Competed from This study mimics the original Path to Excellence survey that was conducted with Olympians from The idea was to gain insight directly from Olympians on their achievement of elite-level performance, on factors related to athlete identification and development. They actually had some interesting findings. I want to go over a few topics that apply to our discussion.
In this question, athletes were asked at what age they first made the U. About one-third of the athletes were between the ages of years old, and another 33 percent were between the ages of years old. The initial survey from revealed that on average, males made their first U.
Olympic Team at Olympic team are very similar between the two studies. Results: Using the information that was provided, the average ages at which Olympians reached these milestones were calculated:. Therefore, the average length of time from when an athlete was first introduced to the sport until making the first U. Olympic team was 14 years It is suggested that athletes require early skill development in sport to better prepare them for the demands of specializing in one sport, which is referred to as multi-lateral development.
Results: The findings indicate that surveyed Olympians were involved in an average of three sports per year until the age of From years of age, athletes reported participating in an average of 2. Surveyed Olympians had decreased involvement to an average of 1. Results: 88 percent of Olympians felt that playing several different sports was either valuable or very valuable to their athletic development.
According to TrackingFootball. You see numbers like this every year. Maybe there is something to it? The Elementary school years are really all about exploration. You want to play as many sports as possible recreationally and formally.
As we already discussed, early sports specialization is not the way to go, especially at this age group, but even middle school and into high school as well.
At the elementary level, the sports seasons are typically shorter so you can easily play 4 or more sports per year. I recommend trying at least one new sport per year. At this age, there needs to be a healthy balance between competition and development.
I think learning how to be competitive and being in a competitive environment is important, not just for sports, but for life. With that being said, there is plenty of time for that later on.
Developing an athlete is a marathon not a sprint. The goal should be to learn how to do things correctly. As far as training goes, the question is often asked, how young is too young for kids to start training? If a kid is old enough to participate in organized sports, they are most likely old enough to take part in some form of resistance training.
A lot of training in this age group almost has to make up for a lack of outside play. I feel like I was part of the last generation that really played outside a lot as a kid. When I was growing up, I used to get all of the neighbor kids together to play sports outside. We played football in the fall, street hockey in the winter, baseball and lacrosse in the spring and summer rode bikes all year. I was an active kid. I actually built a BMX bike track when I was in middle school.
This was legit. It had jumps, berms, tabletops, everything. Kids are not outside running, jumping, biking, swimming, kicking, crawling, carrying, etc. We need to make up for it. In a way, I do the same thing with a lot of my adult clients, myself included.
As adults, many of us live sedentary lives outside of the gym. To make up for this, we track daily steps and throw in structured walking periods to make up for our lack of general activity. Kids need to develop coordination and motor skills. Kids need to learn and develop basic human movements. This helps build a strong athletic foundation for later on. Based on current research, it is safe for youth to take part in resistance training.
For the most part with kids, I want to focus on relative strength and learning to move the body through space. There is a reason why gymnastics is such a great sport for young kids. The skill transfers well to many other sports. When we think of relative strength and moving the body through space, think of: push-ups, pull-ups, flexed arm hangs, squats, lunges, sit-ups, planks, and jumping rope. I still have the little patch they handed out to everyone who won the award!
