Ep. 121 Youth Athletes: Why Less Training Can Lead to More Success
Parents and athletes are often told that “more training equals more success.” But what if the real key to long-term performance is actually doing less?
In this episode, host Trent sits down with Brandon from SOMA Performance & Fitness to unpack why recovery, quality over quantity, and health-first approaches are critical for young athletes. From working with adolescents in clinical settings to tackling the pressures of hustle culture, Brandon shares powerful insights for parents who want to support their child’s sporting journey, without burning them out.
Whether your child is chasing elite sport or just finding their feet, this conversation will help you rethink expectations, spot early red flags, and understand why balance is the foundation for lasting success.
