Build stronger, faster, and more robust cricketers—without changing your entire coaching programme.

You’re preparing your players technically...

But are they physically ready to perform, compete, and stay injury-free?

🚨 Coaches, you’re scouting young athletes all wrong – and it’s costing them AND you.

If you coach, scout, or train young athletes, this episode is a must-watch.

Coaches, Ignoring Pain in Young Athletes Is Costing Them Their Future with Angela Jackson

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0000

🚨 Growth spurts are sidelining young athletes—and most coaches have no idea why. Are you making the same mistakes? 🚨

Young athletes aren’t adults, and they can’t be trained like adults. Yet, many coaches apply the same training methods to growing bodies, leading to injuries, poor movement, and burnout before athletes ever reach their full potential.

Coaches focus on technique, fitness, and skill development, but ignoring how the body changes during growth can make long standing problems.

Back pain, movement issues, and overuse injuries are skyrocketing in youth sports because coaches are training young athletes like mini-adults instead of adapting to their rapid growth and maturation phases.

In this episode, I sit down with Angela Jackson, who is an youth athlete physio and an expert in youth athletic development, to expose why so many young athletes are breaking down—and what coaches MUST do to prevent it.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why growth spurts increase injury risk—and what coaches MUST do about it.

✅ The biggest mistakes coaches make when managing young athletes.

✅ How ignoring maturation leads to long-term movement dysfunction & injury.

✅ How to adjust training without holding athletes back.

✅ The red flags every coach should recognise before it’s too late.

🔥 Ignoring growth & maturation isn’t just a mistake—it’s a career-ending risk. When coaches don’t adapt training, young athletes suffer from chronic pain, long-term movement issues, and even early burnout from sport. This episode will teach you how to stop that.

Athletic Skills Podcast Episode 30: Can you do Sport Specific Training? with Blaine Clancy

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 08:15:36 -0000

In this episode of the Athletic Skills Podcast, we speak with Blaine Clancy, Physical Performance Coach.

Blaine Clancy brings extensive experience coaching various sports and working with diverse populations.

He delves into Youth Athletic Development, exploring how his philosophy has evolved over time.

We discuss an intriguing question: when coaching fundamental movements, is there such a thing as being "sport-specific"? It’s a fascinating topic, as coaches often emphasize making their sessions sport-specific. But what about the foundational skills all athletes need?

Additionally, we explore the role of a coach as a salesperson—how to secure buy-in from others—and the ways parents can be leveraged to further support athletes.

Blaine also shares his thoughts on whether young practitioners should volunteer for free at the start of their journey or focus on finding paid roles. What’s your perspective? Should every opportunity have monetary value, or can coaches gain other meaningful benefits from unpaid experiences?

Feel free to get in touch with Blaine and see more about the his work:
