How Training Kids Differs From Training Adults | The Brand X Method (Jeff & Keegan Martin)

We sit down with Jeff & Keegan Martin - who train kids and work at the Brand X Method. During their interview, they talk about the differences between training kids vs adults, whether lifting stunts kids growth, and more! The Brand X Method offers and affiliate program for those that wish to get involved.
From The Brand X Method Werbsite:
"We imagine a better future for our kids. We know you do too. Together we want what is best for kids and teens. We want them to have the freedom and fearlessness to engage wholeheartedly with the world throughout their entire lives.
Today’s youth are caught between increasingly sedentary lifestyles and earlier and intensive single-sport specialization. This has reduced physical activity-decreasing free play, undermining motor skills development, heightening injury risk, and exacerbating childhood obesity.
As the world leader in youth fitness, The Brand X Method™ confronts this public health threat head on with a strength-and-conditioning program specifically designed for kids and adaptable to any environment, from austere, low-gear settings such as elementary PE classes to well-equipped training facilities such as D1 prep schools and commercial gyms.
Since 2004, we have been driven by a relentless pursuit of best practices in youth training. Our focus on motor pattern training and physical literacy enhancement optimizes kids’ fitness and elevates their athleticism. We help protect kids and teens against sports injury, boost their sports performance, and push back against the forces behind obesity.
The mastery, confidence, and motivation that kids develop in our gyms are the ingredients of freedom and fearlessness. The Brand X Method™ instills the essence of adventure, passion, and joy in kids and teens when playing their favorite sports, trying new things, and tackling life’s challenges so they can step out of our gyms knowing they can do whatever they set out to do."

it´s easier to train a kid... adults always make excuses. Kids just do shit...

0:11 Oh Keegan, you´re such a beautiful soul. I can´t recall a single gym mate that is "mentally stable".

[@christianshelley]

Thank you mark for uploading this video I needed it because my son is 4 and I wanted to start somethings with him but now I have a more open and clearer mind going into it appreciate this so much

[@khristopherbryson8722]

Have to start while they're young I know I have with my children

[@Hankola]

My oldest Granddaughter would benefit from something like this. She is 11 and is super high energy.

So needed. Keep up the good work.

I guess this sadly has become necessary for the new generation. Growing up in the 80s we played puck up football “smear the queer”, biked, played basketball after school,etc. My dad had the old sears concrete weights and my friends and I would keep tabs on who could do the most push ups and pull ups from about 4th grade on. Hell, I even hung a pull up bar under the deck in grade school...lol.

[@wvjon75]

dougerber Yes, I could always jump well and by I do believe that I would have been right in the mix with these kids in ability as well as a few of my peers by just playing and sprinting and Bodyweight exercises.

2:28 literally what happened to me in my soccer “career”. Never had anyone around me to show me this side of fitness. I was good with soccer specific technique but it felt like I was getting left behind when it came to speed and strength. No regrets though, I know now what to do for my son.

[@VegasMoe]

Where are you guys located?

[@thedoubtfuls]

a relevant athletic base is key, and often what's pointed at as the reason some cant go further in their sport.

[@drsaintdc]

This is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!

[@ryanrebarcak60]

The way this guys says sport without the s bothers me. 😂

My son is 6 and he keeps asking me to lift weights... Where should I start with him

[@dhalsim108]

Resistance bands, pull ups and push ups

[@LearningwithActiveKids]

Bands is always the best way to build strength in kids and elite athletes and the largest benefits for kids is it is much safer. You cannot pull or stretch bands further than your own strength allows and as you get stronger, the further you can stretch gaining more strength from the band the further its stretched. Learned this from "Parents Raising Athletes" Channel

[@k98hans]

Thank you for posting and sharing this!!! I completely agree with everything stated here. I have run into the same questions, doubts, and concerns with parents. I coach rugby and strength and conditioning. This video is awesome!!!!

[@dexterespinoza2041]

hi

[@randygravel2057]

More nonsense to get parents to write a check. I really want little Johnny to know where his body is in space.

[@ferna2294]

It´s about keeping little Johnny active, healthy, away from injuries, away from overweight, and builing a foundation for whom someday will be a teenager and may want to compete in a discipline. And don´t forget the metal benefits of sport.

[@randygravel2057]

ferna2294 Imagine if LeBron had done this....WOW

It’s not nonsense. Have your Son be a total unathletic clumsy boy going through grade school. Let me know how he likes life
