Next Gen Athlete: Strength, Speed and Coordination
MACHAELA SIMMONS PERFORMANCE
Basketball, Lacrosse, Youth Sports, Speed, Strength & Conditioning, PlyometricsYoung athletes today are doing more than ever before— more practices, more games, more travel, more pressure.
But here’s the problem:
Their bodies haven't been prepared for it.
Most young athletes are being pushed into high-level competition without ever learning how to move well, control their bodies, or build foundational strength. And the result is exactly what you’d expect:
-Constant aches and pains
-Recurring injuries
-Frustrating cycles of rest and rehab
-Declining confidence
This isn’t bad luck. It’s a missing foundation.
Next Gen Athlete was created to fill that gap.
Designed specifically for athletes ages 12 and under, this 6-week program focuses on bodyweight strength, coordination, and movement quality—the building blocks every athlete needs before chasing higher performance.
Because when an athlete can control their body, everything changes: They learn skills faster, move more efficiently, and step onto the court with confidence.
This isn’t just another workout program. It’s the foundation your athlete has been missing.
