By Rob Quimby
According to Rob Quimby Personal Trainer at World Gym Westchester.
“On today’s playing field, the kids are bigger, stronger and faster than ever”.
That's because teenagers and kids are utilizing personal trainers for sport-specific
training. A sport-specific training program involves focusing on the specific skills
associated with an activity (e.g., tennis players strengthening the rotator cuff muscles to
improve their serve), while improving cardio respiratory endurance, muscle strength,
core stability and flexibility. It is no surprise that many professional athletes attribute
their success to the strength training aspect of their fitness routines.
The misconception…
Rob say’s “there’s a misconception that strength training slows an athlete down or
decreases his or her range of motion or flexibility. But strength training is a very
important component in the training regimens of athletes. For example sprinters and
gymnast are some of the quickest and most agile of athlete and they incorporate
strength training into their training regimens. When properly planned, you will increase
your strength, you will increase your speed, power and muscular endurance.
Train for the first 7 steps..
Don’t get caught up with training to improve only your 40 and 100-yard dash speed.
“Being able to run a 4.3 40 yd. dash is great, but what good is that speed if you do not
have the strength, power and quickness to break away from your opponents” say’s Rob.
The 100 and 40 yard dash flat out straight ahead speed is rarely used in most sports.
He say’s “the first 7 steps are more important”.
Typical routines don’t work…
The typical bench press, arm curl, leg extension and shoulder press program will simply
not give you the results you need. “We must change our thinking patterns now if we
really want to make a difference by incorporating, fast explosive strength training, core
training, agility and speed drills”.

Explosive - Strength - Speed For the Game

I heard about Rob through a friend that uses him for his boy’s baseball program. I
asked Rob if he would be willing to help my 12U girls fast pitch softball team. We
needed help with basics, “how to run properly”, how to increase foot speed, as well
as overall conditioning. He worked with our team in small group rotations and made
a great effort to incorporate softball skill development into his conditioning/speed
training. He put together a structured eight (8) week training program, and
because of his efforts every girl increased their foot speed during his training. Rob’
s attitude and dedication to focus on each player’s development was very
beneficial. We will continue working with Rob in the future.
