Rob is joined by Joey Bergles on the Pacey Performance Podcast this week. He’s the Director of Strength Conditioning at a high school in Dallas, giving him incredible insight into the developmental progress of younger athletes as they grow into older teens and eventually adults. This follows his time coaching college football at Texas Tech University, and women’s soccer and softball at Utah State as lead strength coach. Overall, this experience means Joey has seen coaching from the perspective of numerous skill levels, ages and abilities.
Joey’s knowledge will be invaluable for anyone coaching children at any level, for example how experiences at a young age can have a real knock-on effect and the five main movements that act as a start point for 12-year-old athletes. What’s more, Joey talks about how to keep kids engaged during training that can be perceived as boring or repetitive, and the games that will keep training fun. There’s also insight into how to build speed in younger athletes. To learn all this and much, much more, hit the play button now to hear real expertise in how to coach children and young people.
