In Fit 2 Finish, Dr. LeBolt takes a sport scientist's eye to the training of our soccer-loving kids. She distills the gems of two decades of coaching and injury prevention training to display the methods that have worked to make her athletes safer, healthier and more effective, all while never losing the fun. Coaches at all levels can apply the Fit2Finish principles to every facet of their coaching: warm up, skills and drills, game play, post game routines, recovery, rest and preparing for the next game. Fit 2 Finish is the training manual and the game plan for the coach who's first objective is to keep kids healthy and in the game.
Yes, we must address the 'too much, too early' in today's youth sports, but while we go about changing the culture, the kids who are currently in it need saving. Today's coaches can start now by taking the Fit2Finish method straight to their practice field. If strong, balanced, healthy, high-performing athletes are what we're after, then Fit 2 Finish will get us there.
Dr. Wendy LeBolt founded Fit2finish, LLC in 2001 to address the crisis of injuries in youth sports, particularly to female soccer players. To her work she brings advanced degrees in exercise physiology, a decade of college teaching in the sport sciences, fifteen years of soccer coaching, two decades of sports parenting and a lifetime love of athletics. She has trained thousands of young athletes and teams in the Washington, DC area and mid-Atlantic region and speaks regularly to groups of coaches, parents and athletes about healthy sports and injury prevention. Wendy has published hundreds of articles and columns on topics related to health, wellness, fitness and sports performance. She writes weekly for Soccerwire.com, blogs at Fit2Finish.com and posts regularly to her inspirational blog, The Kinesthetic Christian. She lives in Herndon, Virginia with her husband and their three almost grown daughters.
