Blues' Strength Coach to host Youth Training Seminar - Tonight!

Coaches need two things to be successful: compassion and training.  They have to care about their athletes and know how to train them.  We focus heavily on the attitude and sometimes forget about the aptitude.  Coaches have to be trained - especially where kids are concerned.  Many people view children as small adults and train them accordingly.  There are too many kids doing adult workouts and practice drills.  Kids are not-mini-adults.  They have different bone structures, muscle development, movement patterns, hormone levels, recovery ability, and the list goes on.  Now I don't think coaches are being malicious in their training.  We simply don't know what we don't know.

Have no fear.  There is a solution.  More importantly, if you're reading this blog you know the solution is most likely free.  St. Louis Blues strength and conditioning coach Nelson Ayotte is hosting a free seminar at Strength 360 in St. Louis on Monday, April 25 from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.  Ayotte is in his sixth season as strength and conditioning coach for the Blues and is recognized as one of the top sports performance coaches in the world.  He has coached for several Canadian National teams, U.S. Olympic Track and Field, as well as professional athletes in the NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA, and PGA.  As a Chartered Professional Coach (Ch.P.C.), he is a level five coach of the National Canadian Coaching Program - the highest level a person can achieve.

Free food and beverages will be provided courtesy of St. Louis' premiere organic meal delivery company - Metabolic Meals.  Coach Ayotte has a tremendous passion for training and for young people.  You will be impressed with his knowledge and encouraged by his attitude.  Click here for full registration and contact information for the Strength 360 facility in suburban St. Louis.  The event is free but registration is required.  Don't miss your chance to learn from one of the best coaches in the world.  Register today!  Until next time...
