WHAT AGE SHOULD YOU START WEIGHT TRAINING?
In recent articles, I've discussed Long Term Youth Athletic Development. You may remember the pyramid illustration where the foundation layer is optimum nutrition, to fuel the demands of training. Upon this we build endurance with cardio-respiratory work, followed by strength, then power with body weight exercises, progressing to external resistance movements (weights) and finally sports mastery. Keep in mind this process can take several years and should NOT be rushed.

When done properly, weightlifting is not only safe but extremely effective in developing the all important quality of power. Power or explosiveness (particularly in the hips and legs) is what allows athletes to jump higher and sprint faster or move an opponent. One cannot overstate its importance in sports like football, volleyball, wrestling, tennis, basketball, track & field, baseball, swimming, and so on.

So when is the right time to start weightlifting? Let’s go back to the Pyramid; has the young athlete (or adult, returning to exercise) built a base of endurance, can they move and control their own body weight with good posture and mechanics doing things like pushups, sit ups, pull ups, handstands, bear crawls, tumbling, and the like? And is there a qualified coach in close supervision? Physiologically, a child as early 10 years old can start to learn weightlifting technique, usually starting with a PVC pipe. Of course there are other factors to consider as well, such as mental maturity, motivation, and parental involvement.

At the Paso Robles Sports Club, we start working with kids as young as 5 years of age. Balance, running, jumping, throwing and tumbling are the first steps of lifelong fitness. As they progress up the pyramid, we play games with fun challenges to develop their growing bodies. By 12 to 14 years old, they can enter in to more formalized training. Unlike many other activities, weightlifting (aka Olympic lifting, due to its worldwide participation and inclusion in every Olympic Games since their inception!) is both a training tool and a widely enjoyed sport for both men and women of all shapes and sizes. Boys, Girls, Men & Women of any age or weight can compete in USA Weightlifting sanctioned meets from the local level, all the way up to the national level and even be selected for our Olympic team!

When to start? How about now! Call or text me with your specific questions, regarding your fitness or athletic goals, or that of your son or daughter.

The Most Important Number In Tennis - Revisited

If you’re kind enough to read this column once in awhile, you might remember the number 55 that I have discussed on occasion. It’s the percentage of points won in a tennis match that will win you 90% of your matches. Say that to yourself again, 55% of your points won translates into 90% of your matches won! The stats speak for themselves – we’ll get to those later, but I thought a more mental perspective this time around might give you a different take on how to evaluate these numbers and how to apply them to yourselves.

So, think of your own game. You simply love tennis! It’s fun for you, you enjoy competing, you love to run around and you love playing with your tennis buddies. But, here’s the deal.

When you win the point, most of us are glad/happy/smiling.
When you lose the point, most of us are sad/not happy/frowning.You try and win every point they play.

You want to win every point you play. You want perfection. That’s fine, that’s great; but, obviously, it’s not reality. You have to understand tennis is a game of very small margins: tennis is not a game of perfection, it’s a game of percentages.

Once you learn and accept that it’s OKAY to lose 45% of all points you play (and still win 90% of your matches), you get off the “happy/sad” rollercoaster that destroys you mentally between the points and exacerbates your perception of futility at playing this game. You learn that competition means losing a lot of points. You learn to lose a point, and now say to yourself “It’s okay. That’s just one of the 45% (or more) of points I’m gonna’ lose.” You freak out less. You put less stress on yourself and/or your partners. Smile when you hit a winner and smile even bigger when you make an error; it’s all part of the game! You’ll enjoy yourself a lot more. And I’m willing to bet, you’ll win a bit more as well with this new relaxed perspective.

To revisit the hard core data: here’s some of the most stats that verify that 55% number for you:

Here’s an example from 2016:

No. 1 in the world = Andy Murray: Matches Won = 90% (78-9). Points Won = 55%. Murray finished No. 1 and lost almost 6,000 of the almost 13,000 points that he played… think about that for a minute or two.

Here’s some even bigger picture statistics for you.

2017 Australian Open Men’s Draw - Match Winners = Won 10,500 points (55%), Match Losers = Lost 8740 points (45%)

Here it is again: the average amount of points won by the No.1 player in the world from 1991-2016.

55% = 12 years, 54% = 7 years, 53% = 4 years, 56% = 3 years,
TOTAL TIME FRAME = 26 years, AVERAGE POINTS WON = 55%

So, next time you go out and play again, put your game into a realistic perspective of how the game is won. Don’t blow up at a single point lost or even a couple of points in a row. Know that consistency and reduction of errors is the way to the top of our game. Play within your skill limits, always get the ball back and never give up. Remember, tennis is a game unlike any other I know of, where you can have less total points than your opponent does and you still can win the match!

See Ya’ on the Courts, Gary
