Conditioning for Today’s Young Athlete
Today's young athletes practice and play more organized sports starting at a much younger age. This has made them more skilled in their individual sports but has not improved their general athleticism. I believe we are seeing more injuries in our young athletes because the structured nature of their play is not helping them find for themselves how to run faster, jump higher or get stronger. In short, their bodies are not prepared for the increased demands that playing sports at a higher level puts on them.

As our conditioning of young athletes evolves at FIT-TO-GO, we employ methods such as relays, drills, and games. We pride ourselves on teaching the latest training techniques to our student-athletes; but in those techniques we find many of the elements of what we did in our own free play when we were young. The difference is that nowadays we can cue youngsters on the mechanics of how to run faster, jump higher or get stronger. Modern youth sports expose kids' bodies to stresses that require conditioning if they want to improve performance and avoid injury. Advances in exercise science have taught us how to do that better than ever.

Here are a few testimonials, one from a parent, one from a college coach, and one from a student-athlete:

"I don't want to sound like some cable television pitch man selling some appliance which, for only $9.95 a month (plus shipping and handling), will clean your floor, slice your fruits and vegetables, and make your bald spot go away. I do, however, want to say how great Coach Cohn has been with my two boys, both of whom are devoted to football and both of whom we turned over to Coach Cohn to make them larger and faster for football.

Coach Cohn's virtues are these: first, he knows all sports on a muscle-by-muscle basis and knows which muscles a football player, as opposed to a Wimbledon-wannabe, needs. Second, he is great at sports nutrition. He will push kids to eat right and he will push those supplements which are good for children and effectively discourage those supplements which are not. Finally, he has wonderful patience. Neither of our children persuades easily and sometimes neither can be persuaded at all. But the Coach hung in there and achieved the results that turned each kid into a much better football player."

"As a college hockey coach for over 24 years I have had a first hand look at the needs and requirements of today's college athletes. Bruce Cohn is a qualified and extremely knowledgeable individual who understands these needs and how to meet them. If you are a motivated student-athlete with your sights on the college game, Bruce is the person who will get you there. Bruce Cohn's knowledge of strength and conditioning combined with his positive teaching style and attitude makes FIT-TO-GO one of the Boston areas top training programs."

Joe Mallen (Former Head Coach at Umass- Amherst and Assistant Coach at Boston College)

"The summer of '05 was a very important summer for me; I was going to be examined by some of the top college football programs in the country. Bruce and I worked together throughout the spring and then on a 1-on-1 basis in the early summer. Bruce helped prepare me for a summer where I needed to be in top physical condition, and I was. Bruce worked hard with me both in the weight room and outside the weight room, preparing me for the intense physical examinations that awaited me. Bruce helped get me in the shape that I needed to be in for the most important summer of my life."
