🚨Soon to be high school Freshman Athletes
Soon-to-be high school freshmen athletes…
High school sports are different.
Bigger athletes.Faster athletes.Stronger athletes.More competition.More accountability.
A lot of athletes walk into freshman year thinking middle school success automatically carries over.
It doesn’t.
The athletes who adjust the fastest usually aren’t the “most talented.”They’re the most prepared.
So what should you EXPECT?
You probably won’t be “the guy/girl” right away.You may not start immediately.You may get humbled.You may realize strength matters way more than you thought.
And that’s okay.
Freshman year is about development.
Right now, athletes should already be:
• Strength training correctly
• Learning movement mechanics
• Sprinting and jumping
• Improving mobility
• Building conditioning
• Learning recovery habits
• Sleeping more
• Eating like an athlete
Not just playing games.
You also need to start asking better questions.
Questions like:
• “What do freshmen usually struggle with?”
• “What can I improve before summer?”
• “What do coaches expect in the weight room?”
• “How can I stand out positively?”
• “What does coachability actually look like?”
And parents…
Understand this:
Not every freshman becomes varsity immediately.Not every athlete develops at the same speed.Not every kid peaks at 14.
The goal isn’t:
“Be the star right now.”
The goal is:
Develop strength.Build discipline.Learn consistency.Become dependable.Prepare for the next 4 years.
Because coaches trust athletes who:
• Show up
•Listen
• Work hard
• Handle coaching
• Stay consistent
• Bring energy every day
Talent gets attention.Habits keep athletes on the field.
High school sports stop rewarding potential alone.
Preparation starts mattering.
Earn Everything.
