We chose the name Relentless ATHLETICS because we focus on the development of ATHLETES….. specifically, the FEMALE ATHLETE.

Science shows us that strength training can help our athletes become not just stronger….. but faster, able to jump higher, be more powerful, stable, coordinated and even resistant to injuries! Strength training allows us to develop a better athlete who is then able to become a better {insert your sport} player.

Did you know ACL Injuries have been considered an “epidemic” among female athletes since the 1990s? And guess what…..non-contact ACL injures in females are simply overuse injuries. Strength training is the MOST effective tool to help reduce the chance of these overuse injuries!!

If your female is participating in a competitive sport….it is both yours & her responsibility to PREPARE her body for the stressors of that sport!!

Her training frequency should COMPLIMENT her sport volume.

Research shows females who spend at least 6 months per year strength training 2x/wk are at a 65% LOWER risk of injury than those who don’t!

NO WAY!!  Strength training for sport is VERY DIFFERENT than the sport of bodybuilding!

Muscle on a female who you may consider “bulky” takes years and years of dedicated time and effort (and probably some outside help 😀)

Instead of “bulking” up from weightlifting, you/ your daughter’s body will respond by taking on a firmer more athletic look!  No skin and bones here…. but healthy frames that are full of lean, firm muscle.

If you are worried about bulking up, please stop straying away from heavy weights and instead start focusing on your nutritional intake!

The American Academy of Sports Medicine recommends females as young as 9 years old start resistance training!

Research shows females who start training BEFORE puberty have a lower chance of ACL injury than those who do not!

Squatting full depth will NOT hurt your daughter’s knees!  Actually, squatting this low helps strengthen them!! Full-depth squats performed with proper technique (stability at the spine) allow athletes to develop strength within FULL RANGE OF MOTION.

This is important as a joint is only as healthy as it is strong within its entire range of motion. By limiting your athlete’s range of motion (think partial squats), we cannot develop the tendon and ligament strength needed to keep your daughter’s knees STRONG, MOBILE, and RESILIENT!
