My Project
The donations for this project will be beneficial for our overall athletic program at my school. It will go beyond the football program and support all of our student-athletes as they strive to develop and pursue athletics at the next level. We desire to possess adequate sports training equipment that not only helps build strength and enhance skills but most of all aids in developing the proper technique to avoid injuries and maintain safety.
Many middle-school students are extremely excited about the opportunity to participate in team sports and embrace the rigor and challenges of preparing for it.
However, there is adequate evidence arising from injury prevention studies of youth sports participants emphasizing the necessity for proper training equipment that is designed age-appropriately to help develop their muscles and avoid injuries.
With strength and agility training being a higher priority than skill development or dominating games, the "Dynamic Resistance Training Belt" will be used to enhance lower body strength and avoid lower-body injuries. The "Adjust-A-Hurdle" will be used to improve safety by keeping the hurdle out of the way of their feet, and the "Speed Cute Resistance Parachute" will be used to provide resistance and Overspeed training to promote safety and minimize injury. The overall objective of our project is to build a safe training environment equipped with developmentally-appropriate equipment and encourage ongoing personal health and safety techniques that would make their experience as a student-athlete rewarding and successful.
