CSP Elite Baseball Development Podcast – Pinch Hit Friday #16: When and How Should My Kid Start Strength and Conditioning?

About the Author: Eric Cressey

I often get questions from the parents of 9-12 year-old athletes about when and how kids should get started with formal strength and conditioning. In this episode, I discuss key considerations and outline best practices for setting the stage for making progress and cultivating a favorable relationship with exercise for the long haul.
