Caller Tracy from Wyoming

Hello. Hey, how are you guys?

Hey, thanks for having me on the show. I'm a big fan.

Thank you. So I'm a group fitness instructor and a newish personal trainer. I have recently, besides training women of all ages, I recently started training a lot more youth athletes, specifically middle school girls, like little wrestlers and track stars and swimmers. And so I've been experimenting with different formats, playing lots of games, and then squishing

like circuits of good lifts in the middle of games. But I'm curious what your experiences are with youth athletes, what works, what types of programs you've used in the past.

They're anywhere from 9 to 14.

Totally. Yeah, my swimmers, for example, they're on the USA swimmer team, so they're very motivated. I have them in a group. They're all friends. They compete with each other. That seems to work really well.

And then with my one-on-one athletes, it's more of if they get that positive reinforcement from their coach or their parents, and they're like, oh, my gosh, you have so much more power on your team. double whatever axle and figure skating, you know?

I don't really have many of those kids.

Right on. I appreciate the isometric and the tempo. I'll focus on that. That helps.

Love it. Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Thanks.
