On Tuesday 30th May and Thursday 1st June ABC hosted two groups of young athletes from the Tees Valley area, guiding them through workshops and training sessions designed to educate and develop them in their respective sports.
Tuesday saw us working with a group of boxers from Billingham Boxing Academy, whilst on the Thursday we had the pleasure of working with the Loftus Dolphins Swimming Club.
Between 10am and 3pm the groups were led through presentations on the importance of mindset within their sports and given advice on nutrition with relation to their age and training schedules. They also took part in two metabolic conditioning sessions, one focused on teaching movement patterns, e.g. deadlift, squat, lunges, overhead press, chest press, etc., whilst the second session focused more on sport-specific movements. It was an absolute pleasure to work with both groups of young people and we are delighted to be continuing our work with both Billingham Boxing Academy and the Loftus Dolphins over the school summer break as part of Tees Valley funding supporting young athletes in our area.
