Recommended time investment
Guideline for a 9th grader: total organized sport hours per week should not exceed the athlete's age. Maya is 14 — she is at 11.5.
3 sessions · school season
2 lifts + 1 speed day
Short, focused reps
Non-negotiable
Also budget one full off-season per year with no organized team, and at least one complete rest day every week. Athletes training more hours per week than their age in years are significantly more likely to suffer overuse injury.
