Rob Bousquet asks
I took the CrossFit Football Cert in Savannah, Ga a few weeks ago. I have a question about using this programming for a few travel baseball teams’ out of season conditioning. The thing with these teams are, they have players that range from 9 years old to 14 years old. Mostly 9-10 year olds. Based on the seminar conversations we don’t do much weight training with them that young. what would you do with them besides running them through games like dodgeball or whatever? Would program workouts using jumping, kettlebells, slam balls, just stay away from anything heavy?
Thank you for any input you have on the topic.

Great commentary on training youth. I have 2 boys and a girl ages 8, 5, and 3. They all join me in the garage when I lift. The oldest will do technique with a small bar some light KB. Both boys will do assisted pull up sprints up and down the driveway, jumps, ring hangs, knee raises, my daughter will hang from rings and bars and race her bros. besides when I work technique with the oldest they just make up their own stuff. I’m a chiropractor as well as someone who obsesses about strength training and I’ve never thought twice about what I let them do. I tell others it’s safe, just let it be fun. Never to early to reinforce good movement patterns.
Good work, Travis. If the correlation between professional athletes and birth order proves true in your family, money is on your youngest…
Cali’s hip hop alter ego is the Latorious B.I.G!
Ha! Nice!

Ya but how are u supposed to look good in your Ed Hardy douche cape without biceps? Priorities Cali!
John made a really important comment during this podcast, something about people not being as special as they think, that coaches see the same fucked up shit over and over. I’d like to offer my thoughts:
