Last session before half term for the York YAD guys tonight. Good opportunity to try out some new exercises. Big fan of the step up which challenges that single leg stability and strength as you drive up. Top work guys! 👍💪 #youthathleticdevelopment #youthstrengthandconditioning #speed #power #fundamentals #stepups #squats #athletics #youthsports #athleticdevelopment #trackandfield #york #leeds (at York St Johns Sports Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lIbtqHysB/?igshid=16x7yiugr4xqa

Indoor athletics competition for the York YAD guys this weekend so we kept it nice and simple in the speed section of our session... ✅ reactive accelerations - practicing the key accel positions with a reactive element involved ✅ submax upright running with the wicket drills to reinforce good running mechanics ✅ as always, an emphasis on speed with key jumping movements in the gym ✅ light and fast movements in the gym, whilst ensuring good technique ✅ lots of fun!! #youthathleticdevelopment #youthsports #youthstrengthandconditioning #athleticdevelopment #strengthandconditioning #speed #trackandfield #sprint #athletics (at York St Johns Sports Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BMOh9HmSj/?igshid=bsgsam9dpw51

More great work from the Friday YAD group.... ✅ Thorough RAMP warmup with lots of balance, coordination, skipping, jumping, landing and low level plyo work (all with a big focus on technique) ✅ multidirectional speed tag games that drive intent and develop acceleration, deceleration, cutting, decision making and all in a chaotic environment (as with sport) ✅ athlete to athlete coaching in the gym to ‘learn by teaching/coaching’ ✅ suitable progressions/regressions to allow for a wide range of ages and abilities #youthathleticdevelopment #athleticdevelopment #youthstrengthandconditioning #youthsports #trackandfield #athletics #york #yorkpt #strengthandconditioning #speed #multidirectionalspeed #movement #agility #changeofdirection #fun (at York St Johns Sports Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7vKxWVn-BX/?igshid=yf3ygixnglcv

Some of the Tuesday night Youth S&C crew getting after it! These two are hilarious! Lots of friendly banter during the sessions but they also drive each other to get better every session!

Some of the speed work we start our sessions with the Youth Athletic Development group.

Our Youth Athletic Development group in action at our new venue last night. We are super lucky to have the sports hall and S&C gym to ourselves for the whole session so we can focus on quality sessions in a professional training environment 😁 We have a big group with a range of ages here so we have a multi-level programme in place so that every athlete can progress/regress individually throughout. That way, everyone is moving at their own pace and being challenged in each session. Really looking forward to seeing these guys progress through the year and beyond, ready for a big summer of competition! 💪🏋️‍♂️ #youthathleticdevelopment #goperformance #youthstrengthandconditioning #york #youthsport #athletics (at York St Johns Sports Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4673KuHy9Y/?igshid=1narbxsyyc08v

Lots of excitement for our NEW venue in York for the Youth Athletic Development sessions! FANTASTIC facilities and we’re looking forward to working in this first class facility! #goperformance #youthathleticdevelopment #athleticdevelopment #youthstrengthandconditioning #york #athletics #youthsports (at York St Johns Sports Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ozXkXH6xe/?igshid=bl21rpjly39

Start of the off-season for masters decathlete Craig so we thought we’d do some jump tests. We saw a massive 20% increase in CMJ height from this time last year and an even more impressive 33% improvement in the reactive strength index score 🤯 Craig has had a great year of injury free training and competition with multiple PBs so we are planning on more of the same this year! Plus done great trap bar DL technique from youth athlete Luca today! Smashing it 💪 #athleticdevelopment #youthathleticdevelopment #strengthandconditioning #youthstrengthandconditioning #athletics #trackandfield #decathlon #jump #power #gains https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Xm_0RHXbr/?igshid=8ic1i8535puc

Kieran and Laura nailing some key movements we use to develop athleticism. Laura hitting an easy PB on the trap bar DL (60kg x 6 reps). They have both built a great foundation of various fundamental movements and they have earned the right to progress on these key strength exercises!

Simple movements done well makes a huge difference to young developing athletes. Why did we choose these exercises? ✅ crawling in multiple directions - great way to link the upper and lower body, fantastic exercise to improve shoulder health and teaches an athlete trunk/‘core’/hip control ✅ Tag games - competition drives intentions get the most out of the exercise. Sprinting within tight angles and cutting movements are highly transferable to multiple sport This is just some of the work we do on a weekly basis to build well rounded, young athletes! #youthathleticdevelopment #youthsport #youthstrengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioning #speed #bouldering #cycling #mountainbiking https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UqP-GnRFp/?igshid=5qzdzm8sdbt4

A selection of vids from the Youth Athletic Development sessions this evening. We aim to give a wide range of skills to our young athletes including... ✅fundamental movements ✅underpinning strength with a big focus on correct technique throughout ✅deceleration - learning to put the brakes on! ✅ running mechanics (acceleration and max speed) ✅ curvilinear running (as seen in many team sports) #youthathleticdevelopment #youthsport #youthstrengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioning #speed #football #rugby #york #harrogate #leeds #goperformance https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PYptUHEpg/?igshid=1c6se94y2ts08
