Here is a SERIOUS question...please do not respond if you are only posting to inflame,
I have 9 to 10 9 year olds training and an interesting thing occurs with all and I say ALL the 9 to 10 year olds....even ones that have been with me for awhile.
I will give them a good weight and every single set is done lickity split...when a 14 or 15 year old would still be working on it the 9 to 10 year old is standing starring at me waiting for next set and #'s......I try to slow them down but their form is pretty good..they just snap the set out and come right over to me.
Questions are should I try pushing them harder...give them 5 or 6 reps with snatch and c/j? Should I try harder to put brakes on? Or should I just go at their pace???
And most of my 9 to 10 year olds have better form than some of my older lifters...I am talking squat cleans butt low and squat snatches butt almost to floor.
Is this our next athletic generation brewing or is it just my 9 to 10 year olds......?
the 11 year olds do not do this??? Puzzling..all the 9 to 10 year old are not related and are all from different schools from Kingston NY to Schuylervile Ny of which are probably 2 hours apart.....and they almost never train on same days/times.
