Youth Sports Insights and Resources

Welcome to the youth corner of Crook Athletic Society. Here we gather advice, stories, and tools that help kids and teens enjoy sports while getting better every day. Whether you’re a player, a parent, or a coach, you’ll find practical ideas that fit real life – no fluff, just what works on the field and in the classroom.

Practical Tips for Young Athletes

First off, keep it simple. A solid routine of warm‑up, skill work, and cool‑down can prevent injuries and boost confidence. Try a five‑minute dynamic stretch before practice, follow with focused drills for the sport you love, and finish with light jogging and static stretches. Consistency beats intensity – a 30‑minute session three times a week beats a marathon once a month.

Nutrition doesn’t have to be fancy. Aim for a balanced plate: protein for muscle repair, carbs for energy, and fruit or veg for vitamins. A banana + peanut butter snack before training fuels you without feeling heavy. Hydration matters; sip water regularly, not just when you’re thirsty.

Mental game is as important as the physical one. Encourage young athletes to set one small goal each week – mastering a specific move, improving sprint time, or staying focused for the full practice. Celebrate the wins, even the tiny ones, to build a growth mindset.

Is Lebron James still young or he's pretty old for basketball?

Lebron James is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He recently turned 35, leading some to question if he is too old to continue playing at a high level. Although he is no longer in his prime, there are many factors that suggest that he still has a lot left in the tank. His physical fitness, basketball IQ, and passion for the game make him a formidable opponent. He has also shown that he can adapt to the changing game, which is important for any player over the age of 35. Ultimately, it is clear that Lebron James is still a force to be reckoned with and can continue to dominate the game for years to come.
