“Is strength training safe for my kid?” — parents ask us this all the time. Short answer: yes, when it’s coached right. Here’s what the research says: ❌ “Lifting stunts growth” ✅ Supervised training doesn’t affect growth (Malina, 2006) — and girls who trained kept stronger bones 3 years later ❌ “They’re too young to train” ✅ Soccer: 6.2 injuries per 100 hours. Weight training: 0.0035. Training *prevents* injuries. ❌ “Skipping the weight room is safer” ✅ Untrained female athletes: 3.6x more knee injuries Bad training causes injuries. Not training itself. Supervised. Well-planned. Age-appropriate. That’s how we coach at MVP. 🎯 Want your athlete coached like this?
