Training the Physically Illiterate Child

How do you introduce a training program to a younger/middle school aged child who has no prior experience with one?

Use the first 2 to 3 months to try to build a base physical preparedness for them, making sure to cover everything like speed and power work, strength work, and conditioning work. If they already get a lot of conditioning just from playing their sport you don’t need to focus too much on external conditioning.
