Women Training After 40
By Mike Collette April 3, 2025
Women and men are different, as women age there are different and often more changes than in men. It's important to know how this impacts your health and how you can adjust your training!

“Can pre-teen and teen athletes really make improvements as the season goes on?” That’s a question I get all the time. And the answer is simple: Absolutely. But… they may not if all they’re doing is playing their sport. Wait, Isn’t Playing Enough? It’s not that playing their sport isn’t valuable—it’s hugely important! That’s where kids compete, have fun, and apply what they’ve learned. But here’s the kicker: it’s not where kids build new skills. It’s not where they improve movement mechanics, body control, or physical literacy. That happens in training. Playing their sport is the test. Training is the homework. So What Kind of Training Are We Talking About? I’m not saying your 10-year-old needs a lifting program or 5 a.m. workouts. I’m talking about focused, age-appropriate athletic development. Here’s what to look for: • Balance • Coordination • Strength through movement • Core control • Focus and body awareness • Drills that challenge the athlete as a whole, not just as a soccer or baseball player. But Isn’t That What Practice Is For? In theory, yes! But let’s be honest—most practices during the season are all about preparing for the next game. Coaches focus on tactics, plays, and who’s starting Saturday. That’s not a knock on coaches—they’re doing their job! But this focus often means your child’s individual development takes a back seat. Won’t Kids Burn Out If We Add More? Only if it’s the wrong type of more. The right kind of training isn’t exhausting—it’s energizing! It builds confidence and helps kids feel stronger, more in control, and less likely to get hurt. We’re not adding stress. We’re adding support. I have had a few parents share with me that when their athlete goes to practices after LTAD they play their best. Thats because there is a difference between a "workout" and a training session. LTAD isn't designed to put the athletes through a tough workout. Its a training session just like one of their practices for their sport it the goal is just a little different, its to make them a better athlete. So What Should I Do As a Parent? Look for a training environment that focuses on movement quality, fun challenges, and coaching that understands how kids learn. Keep it consistent, even during the season. We offer a few at Prototype thought our Youth Fundamentals classes and LTAD (Long Term Athletic Development) classes. And most importantly: Don’t assume playing their sport is enough. Because your athlete has more potential than what shows up on game day—and training is what unlocks it. Engaging your pre-teen / Teen in focused training can make a world of difference! It’s all about balancing play with the right kind of development. So get out there, find that perfect training environment, and watch your young athlete thrive!
