Agree, my 9 year old son has been following ftc program for 9 months now. He has now been drafted in the gymnastics, tennis, cricket, and athletics (high jump) team. One year ago he was regarded as a "developement" player. Thanks coach!

Your son will become an amazing athlete if you keep going with ftc!

@@jsherrier1196 Hi. Yes, I program myself, but I keep it very simple. Speed training 1-2x per week, working on 30's, 40's and 10m flies mostly (very occasionally 60m, 80m and 100m on my kids' insistence), plyo as well. All timed and recorded. I regard his gymnastics training as x-factor work. He is not a"naturally gifted" sprinter, but his 10m fly time improved from 1.91s in June this year to 1,59 s 2 weeks ago. He is faster and stronger, and most importantly, he is energised and fresh to practice sport-specific skills required for optimal performance (tennis and cricket are highly skilled sports, you need to be fresh). I am sold, sprinting (FTC) is the best physical development tool for kids, and the best of all, they love it as well.

@jsherrier1196 Just an interesting side note: my 6-year-old daughter is a more natural athlete. But she is struggling with in-toeing (pigeon toe), to such an extent that she would trip when she is running. She also trains (FTC) with us; you cannot keep her out of a training session. Earlier this year, I noticed her feet would land straight when she was doing wicket runs correctly. So I also got her on the FTC program in March this year (with other exercises to strengthen external hip rotators, etc.). Her in-toeing is about 80% improved, she is not tripping anymore, and she broke the school's 60m record in the 7-year-old age group. I would recommend this program to all parents, within the kid's ability range of course.
