Does my child actually need supplements? It’s one of the most common questions we get from sports parents. Bristol City 1st Team Doctor, Thom Phillips, breaks down the essentials for youth development. The Top Priorities: 1️⃣ Bone Health: Developing athletes are prone to bony injuries. Keeping Vitamin D and Iron levels high is crucial. 2️⃣ The 5-a-Day Rule: No, not just fruit! Aim for 5 portions of calcium-rich foods (milk, cheese, yoghurt) to support rapid growth. 3️⃣ The Age Factor: While protein and creatine are safe for 16 , a Food First approach is always the best foundation. Don't guess when it comes to your child's health; get the facts from the pros. 👉 Link in bio to download the Player Perx app for more medical and nutritional insights! #SportsParent #FootballParent #AthleteHealth #InjuryPrevention #PlayerPerx

Pressure is high because you care… but here’s how to dial it back. Ever find your mood depends on your child’s game? We’ve all been there. Matt Lock breaks down why "Identity Diversification" is the secret to keeping the pressure off your young champion. 1️⃣ Stay consistent (regardless of the result). 2️⃣ Celebrate their interests outside of sport. 3️⃣ Be their safe space, not their second coach. 🛡️ #SportsMum #SportsDad #YouthAthlete #Identity #HealthyParenting #PlayerPerx

Most sports aren't played in a straight line. Whether it’s a winger beating a defender, a tennis player reaching for a wide volley, or a goalkeeper diving for the top corner, lateral power is king. In this video, we’re breaking down the Lateral Bound. This isn’t just a jump; it’s a vital tool for youth development. Why is this movement essential? Lateral Explosiveness: Trains the body to produce force sideways, improving agility and "first-step" quickness. Single-Leg Stability: Develops balance and control, ensuring the athlete can land safely and transition into the next move. Injury Prevention: Strengthens the muscles around the ankles, knees, and hips, which is crucial for preventing common youth sports injuries like ACL strains. 📲 Want more drills like this?

Should I let my child play multiple sports, or focus on one? It’s the question every sports parent asks. We’ve all seen the "Super Specialists" who thrive on a single focus, but there is a massive argument for the "Swiss Army Knife" approach. By playing multiple sports, children build a body that is robust and ready for anything you throw at it. Variety doesn't just build better athletes; it helps them find what they are truly passionate about. After all, you don’t know if you’re the next Andy Murray (or the next world-class jockey!) until you give it a go. #SportsParents #YouthSportsTraining #PlayerPerx
