THE YOUNG ATHLETE

Safe Development Of The Growing Athlete

This talk helps to provide insight and advice for parents and their children regarding safe and effective sports participation, training and development of young athletes.

Phil Mack, our experienced Consultant Sports Physiotherapist and Sports Scientist will explain the relationship between sports performance and a growing child or young adult. Phil will also explain the best warm up, recovery and development stratagies, as well as how growing pains are best managed.

Sport plays a significant role in the well-being of a child and a well-designed exercise programme enhances the physical, psychological and intellectual elements of a child.

However, the past 10 years has witnessed an increase in the competitive nature of sport from a young age, and subsequently, young athletes train harder and longer and some participate in sport throughout the whole year. As an undesired but inevitable consequence, sports-related injuries in the young athlete have increased significantly.

This is a charity event to help raise money for BORDERS CHILDREN’S CHARITY. A donation on the door would be appriciated. This may be a popular event with limited places, so book your free tickets NOW by clicking HERE.
