Strength Training for Kids and Teenagers

The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I take a question from a listener about strength training for their teenage son and use it as a platform to discuss training for teens (and kids in general) with my podcast producer, Tony. I talk about when children can start strength training, how I used strength training as a teen to build confidence with my wrestling, how parents can set a positive example and support their teens in health and fitness, and why "fun" should be the focus at a young age. I also talk about how unrealistic body image standards for men are often overlooked and dangerous, why winning at all costs isn't the answer, and when to intervene as a parent if there is a toxic coach or authority figure in their life. I hope you enjoy this episode and, if you do, please leave a review on iTunes (huge thank you to everyone who has written one so far).
