Episode description

🎙️ In this episode, we break down why your young athletes must train below the knee. The foot and ankle are the foundation of movement — skip this and you're risking injury and missed potential.

We cover:

  • Why basic foot and ankle strength is non-negotiable

  • The hidden performance benefits of lower leg training

  • How strong feet improve sprinting, change of direction, and injury prevention

  • What drills actually work (and which ones don’t)

If you're coaching youth athletes and ignoring the feet, you're missing a huge piece of the puzzle. Let’s fix that.
