Thanks for reading the article and for your comments!

I couldn't agree with you more. It's absolutely astonishing how many kids get completely blindsided when they get into a collegiate strength and conditioning program.

I see it all the time in a wide range of sports- including lacrosse. Whether it's because they're training the wrong way, or just not training period and relying on sheer athleticism, far too many young athletes get "thrown to wolves" when they have to start cleaning, benching, squatting etc. And you're right, much more of a problem with girls.

You've given me a good idea here. Perhaps there's something I can put together to address this issue.

Thanks again for your post!
