Tips for Parents

If he feels like his soreness could lead to injury then encouraging him to address it with the coach/trainer directly is a great place to start.

My son started high school workouts and they are extremely difficult. Each practice is four hours long and more intense than anything he’s experienced in his sport so far. He is asking to skip tomorrow’s workout because he is soo sore. Should I let him?
