Hey all, this is a 2 part question for those with kids already playing collegiate soccer.
1. My DD is a 16 year old 03 (U17). She got a functional assessment done on Tuesday by a physical therapist/trainer. We were advised that she needed to start weight lifting in order to build more strength in her hamstrings, glutes/hips, and core. My question is when did your kiddos start weight training, and did it have a negative effect on their speed? Also, did it help with injury prevention or is that a rote answer?
2. Were your kids "fit enough" when they got to college? If so, how often were they working out; if not, what did they need to work on?
Bonus question: What "beep test" level was your DD college fitness test minimum?
