If you’re worried your kid isn't doing advanced /hard stuff, research what is appropriate through different stages of development & why. You should be concerned if your child lacks hormones & is engaging in the same workout you see high school or pro athletes doing.

Ability doesn't outweigh development. Don't take simple/appropriate as something interpreting your kids ability to advance.

A lot of times "trainers" will get parents to commit to them by letting their kids do things that are "advanced" but inappropriate.

These are inappropriate workouts for their stage of development, just because of the parents desire for their child to be advanced- they see this as a better situation because of how good they think their kid is. Bones & tissues remain the same regardless of ability.

Nothing counts till varsity.. NOTHING . You are not getting ahead by doing things that alter the proper formation of the central nervous system and all the tissues that follow.
