Planting Seeds for Athletic Success
The Team Elite program is designed not only to develop an athlete's physical potential, but to provide a fitness education that can empower an athlete for a lifetime. We start by maintaining a low instructor-to-student ratio in order to ensure the highest quality training for every athlete. Then, following one of
Team Elite’s unique training plans, our dedicated instructors will work with the athletes individually and as a group to ensure that the proper technique for every exercise is being employed. In this way, athletes not only build strength and confidence, but gain knowledge that helps create the foundation of athletic success.
One of the unfortunate myths regarding the training of young athletes is the notion that resistance training is either unsafe or unhealthy for younger adolescent and pre-adolescent athletes. Yet numerous scientific and medical studies have demonstrated that a properly managed resistance training program is safe and has no negative impact on epiphyseal (growth) plate development. In addition, young athletes who participate in a regular, well-supervised strength training program generally experience fewer and less severe injuries on the field than athletes who train improperly or not at
all.
The myths surrounding young athletes and strength training are usually based on reports of injuries incurred in the course of training. Yet such injuries are nearly always the result of poor technique. For this reason, Dr. Avery Faigenbaum, a leading researcher and practitioner in the field of youth fitness, states that "Unsupervised youth resistance training programs (at home or at school) are not recommended under any circumstance because of the potential for serious injury." Indeed, the real danger facing most athletes is improper training and a lack of physical preparation.
At
Team Elite, our training sessions follow a unique and carefully structured lesson plan that is designed to provide balanced development while maximizing results. Athletes work together yet progress at their own rate, gaining strength and knowledge that that not only helps them achieve their full potential in the sport of their choice, but invests them with a fitness education that will benefit them for a lifetime.
