Proper Form When Lifting Weights

Weight lifting is an essential component of many high school sports programs, helping athletes to build strength, improve performance, and prevent injuries. However, it's crucial that athletes use proper form when weight lifting to ensure that they get the most out of their workouts and avoid the risk of injury. Here's why proper form is so important for high school athletes who lift weights:

  1. Maximizing performance: Using proper form when lifting weights can help athletes maximize their performance by ensuring that they are targeting the right muscles and using the correct technique. This can lead to better results in competitions and games.
  2. Preventing injury: Improper form when weight lifting can put athletes at risk of injury. Injuries such as strained muscles, sprains, and even more serious injuries can occur when athletes lift weights with improper form. Proper form ensures that the athlete is using the correct muscles and reducing the risk of injury.
  3. Establishing good habits: Proper form is not just important for athletes now, but for their future as well. By establishing good form habits early, athletes can carry these habits with them throughout their lives and avoid potential injury and other negative outcomes.
  4. Building confidence: Proper form can also help athletes build confidence in their abilities. When athletes are confident in their form and technique, they are more likely to perform at their best and push themselves to their limits.
  5. Improving posture and alignment: Proper form when lifting weights can also help improve posture and alignment. This can have benefits both on and off the field, as good posture can help prevent future injuries and improve overall health.

Using proper form when lifting weights is crucial for high school athletes. It can help maximize performance, prevent injury, establish good habits, build confidence, and improve posture and alignment. Coaches should ensure that athletes are using proper form when lifting weights, and athletes should take the time to learn and practice proper technique. By doing so, high school athletes can achieve their full potential and stay healthy and injury-free.

My son has done 3 months at TAT in preparation for fall football. After his first "real" football practice with the team he looked at me and said he could've never made it through that if he hadn't been doing the sports training. Wow! Words of praise from an 11 year old- thanks for all the training Coach Dan and fellow coaches.

Dan worked with my son Alex over the summer . I was thoroughly impressed with his training methods and the confidence and he instilled in my son. Not only does he build strength and balance but he teaches his athletes to think like elite athletes .

As a PT(physical therapist) and baseball mom, I have always recognized the need to add strength speed and agility to my sons training regime and have been a fan of TAT for many years now - now as a client I can further attest to the power of the program. TAT has helped my son build a strong foundation in preparation for his first year playing D1 baseball at JU. Dan and all his staff put a tremendous amount of time, focus and energy into the development of each athlete using age and developmentally appropriate drills to maximize gains. Attention to detail and technique are evident in all aspects of TAT and a large part of the reason I chose this program for my son, Jacob. We drove all the way from Mt. Dora to be a part of this program and found it more than worth it!
