Cathy Busby featured in Carolina Parent article

In her article Weighty Matters for Young Athletes in the May 2008 issue of Carolina Parent, author Carol McGarrahan quotes Cathy Busby extensively on the importance of strength training, including:

“Everybody used to say kids shouldn’t strength train at all,” says Busby, who has noted an increased interest and acceptance of resistance training. Most of her clients at Physical Solutions are 11 years old or older.

"Now we have 10-year-olds who are in these intense physical activities, and you might think if you just train three times a week doing your sport you will be strong enough to do it, but most sports practices are spent learning the skills of that sport, especially at younger ages,” Busby says. “That training doesn’t necessarily make you stronger, so whatever inherent weakness you started out with you will probably continue to have.”

If you are a parent or a coach of a student who might benefit from skilled help with strength training pre-season or during, give us a call.
