Deadlifts For All Athletes
Teaching the deadlift exercise is a must at my gym, the Boost Performance Center here in Corona Ca.

The ability to exert a lot of force into the […]

5 Fun Games to Develop Movement Skills & Agility
Making training into a fun game is a sneaky way to get athletes to give even more effort during sessions. It’s also a great tool to incorporate into training because it more closely resembles competitive play where movements are random, and athletes are forced to react quickly and decisively. At my gym, the Boost […]

10 Things Parents Should Do with Their Youth Athlete – Part 2
