Summary
Raising Healthy Athletes
In this enlightening episode of the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, we dive deep into the world of youth training and the crucial role it plays in long-term health and athletic development. Joined by Judd Leinhard, former Army Ranger, collegiate lineman, and expert in speed training, we explore how training children differs from adults, debunk common myths, and reveal the surprising truth about building strength and resilience in kids.
We dive into:
- Why strength training and weightlifting are safe—and even essential—for children.
- Practical advice for parents on encouraging active lifestyles and modeling healthy behavior.
- The overlooked benefits of teaching kids proper breathing and stability for better athletic outcomes.
- Insights into how children's nervous systems adapt and protect them during training.
If you're a parent, coach, or simply interested in the foundations of youth fitness and development, this episode will open your eyes to how early interventions in movement and strength training can significantly impact health and performance for years to come.
Who is Judd Lienhard?
Judd is the founder of MASS Method, a performance-based workout program dedicated to improving Movement, Athleticism, Strength, and Speed. He has worked as a Speed and Performance Coach in Austin, TX, for the past twelve years.
Judd's nontraditional approach to fitness was vastly shaped by his background as a collegiate athlete (middle linebacker at Truman State) and time in service as a US Army Ranger. During Judd's military career, he completed three deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan. Upon completion of his service obligation, Judd decided to focus his career efforts on coaching and fitness.
In addition to MASS Method, Judd coaches a private community dedicated to personal development based on his ethos: Always Be An Athlete. Judd is a proud dad, avid writer, history buff, and of course, a lifetime athlete.
