How are Parisi Classes structured?
Parisi Classes are first grouped by age to ensure that training for each athlete matches the stage of development they are currently in. Within each group, athletes train in small groups, allowing for peer motivation and more personalized coaching. This setup helps coaches identify areas where athletes may need extra support. Training focuses on improving linear speed, agility, and upper and lower body strength, with a strong emphasis on injury prevention. As athletes progress, they are introduced to more advanced methods, including weightlifting and functional fitness. Regular assessments help track each child's development.
What is the time commitment for Parisi Classes?
Classes are typically between 50 minutes and 1 hour long, 2 to 3 times per week, based on how many classes the athlete is signed up for.
When is the best time for young athletes to be doing Sports Performance Training?
Best best time is now -- year-round, both in-season and off-season. Off season training should focus on building strength and endurance through non-sport-specific exercises, while in-season training should emphasize sport-specific skills like balance, quick-twitch muscles, coordination, and recovery. The Parisi program supports all these elements to optimize performance.
Parisi also offers off-season training programs for youth teams, providing targeted workouts that build strength and endurance while minimizing injury risk during the off months.
Which is better for a young athlete: Parisi Youth Sports Performance Training or getting them a Personal Trainer?
Sports performance training offers a more specialized approach that can be tailored to the demands of a specific sport, while personal training focuses more on overall strength and wellness. Sports performance training is better suited for young athletes.
