S2E85 | Youth Athletes: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

What's up guys, thank you for tuning into another episode of the podcast!  Today's episode is more of a freestyle featuring Dr. Nate Jones, PT & Dr. Matt Shiver, PT and yours truly Dane Gifford.  We dispel some common myths and answer questions related to youth athletic development. The most common myth involving youth athletic development is that lifting weights will stunt your growth.  There is not a single piece of research or evidence out there that suggests lifting weights will stunt a youth's growth.  If there is, we would love to see it!  We dispel this myth with evidence of the positives involved with youth weight training and athletic development. We cover this along with other common misinformation on youth athletic development.  We appreciate you guys taking the time to listen to today's episode and would also appreciate if you took the time to leave us a review on iTunes!
