## Caption

We hear these five concerns regarding youth training from parents every single day:

1️⃣ “It stunts bone growth.” → FACT: Resistance training actually increases bone density and strengthens developing bodies when done correctly.
2️⃣ “It’s only for athletes.” → FACT: Every kid can benefit from learning how to move, control their body, and build confidence, not just the ones on the field.

3️⃣ “You shouldn’t start until Year 12.” → FACT: The best time to start building movement patterns is long before this. We start early to build a foundation.

4️⃣ “It gets you too bulky.” → FACT: Youth training focuses on coordination and strength, not “bulk.” It builds lean, athletic bodies ready to perform.

5️⃣ “It’s unsafe for youth.” → FACT: Unsupervised lifting is unsafe. Coached, controlled, form-first training is one of the safest things they can do.
