How to help your kids become better athletes

If you would like your kids to become better athletes one of the best things you can do is put them into gymnastics and martial arts. These two sports will help children to develop strength, power, agility, coordination, and flexibility. The other thing you can do is get your child doing sprinting exercises between the ages of 8-10. This is the time during a childs development that he of she really developes their speed for the rest of their lives. I see a lot of parent who are encouraging their kids to run long distances when they are young. This would be the last thing I would do. Teach your child how to sprint, jump, and throw at an early age and they will be much better athletes as they get older.
