Should Kids Lift Weights? (And 5 Things Young Hockey Players Should Avoid)

Summary:


Is it safe for kids to lift weights? Yes—and we’ll explain why, backed by science and expert position papers. In this episode, I break down the myths around youth training, especially for young hockey players, and highlight five common mistakes that could actually hurt your child’s development. From supplement misuse to overtraining and burnout, I’ll share what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to summer training for kids. This is a must-listen for parents who want to give their kids every chance to succeed—without sacrificing their future health or love of the game.
