Strength, Speed & Power: What's the Difference?

Athletic performance isn't just about being strong or being fast.
Strength, speed, and power are different qualities, and athletes benefit from training all three.

Strength is the ability to produce force.
It gives athletes a foundation for controlling their bodies, resisting force, and producing force.

Speed is how quickly an athlete can move.
Sprinting, acceleration, footwork, and change of direction all require an athlete to move efficiently and quickly.

Power is the ability to produce force quickly.
Jumping, throwing, accelerating, and explosive movements all rely on power.

Each are connected, but they aren't the same.

Our goal is to help athletes develop each quality appropriately for their age, experience, and sport while building a more capable and resilient athlete over time.

We're moving into a new programming cycle next week targeting each of these aspects, so if you have questions about our training or think your youth athlete could benefit from the program, reach out to us to schedule a free trial workout.

50 Workouts! 💪

50 workouts is a huge milestone that is worth celebrating! But the coolest part is the consistency behind it.

This athlete regularly shows up to train with us, oftentimes even after already putting in the work at sport-specific practice.

That's dedication and commitment to their health and sports ability!

For parents looking to help their athlete build that same consistency, reach out to learn more about our youth strength and performance program and schedule a free trial workout.

Congratulations on 50 workouts!

Different athletes need different training...

Our small-group sessions aren't about putting every athlete through the exact same workout.

Athletes can train together, warm up together, and build teamwork, but their training is still matched to their needs.

One athlete may be working on strength. Another may be developing speed, mobility, control, or coordination. We adjust the exercises and challenges to meet the athlete where they are and help them progress.

Sometimes that means we bring in a plank battle with a little air hockey mixed in.

Dont hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about getting started with us.

25 WORKOUTS!

Big congratulations to these athletes for hitting 25 workouts!

25 workouts means 25 times choosing to show up, put in the work, and get a little better.

Strength, speed, confidence and resilience don't happen overnight...
They're built through consistency.

We're proud of the work these athletes have put in, and we're excited to see where the next 25 take them.

What Changes When Your Athlete Is In Season?

When the games start, training doesn't stop, it adapts.

In-season training works around practices, games, and recovery.
We communicate with our athletes and parents and adjust volume, intensity, and exercises so athletes can continue developing strength, speed, power, and resilience without simply adding more fatigue.

The goal isn't to make athletes tired.

The goal is to help them stay strong, healthy, and ready to perform.

Practice the sport. Train the athlete.

Have questions about how strength training can fit into your athlete's season?
Get in touch, we'd be happy to help.

Being active is important. But training has a purpose.

Sport practice develops sport skills. Our job is to develop the athlete - building strength, mobility, control, speed, power, and resilience that support both sport and everyday life.

As part of our session yesterday, we worked on hip mobility and control with a weighted hip flexor stretch and 90/90 heel raises.
By the end of the session, one youth athlete said:
“My hips haven't felt this good in years.”
- an athlete, not a 45-year-old office worker

That's what we're after.

Not just calories burned. Not just leaving tired.

Better movement. Greater ability. A more resilient athlete.

Keep showing up. Keep building.

If you're curious about how purposeful strength and performance training can complement your athlete's sport, reach out to us, we'd be happy to answer any questions.

Practice the sport. Train the athlete.

Training Young Athletes: Start With the Basics

Our youngest athletes often start training with us around 8 years old.

At that age, strength training isn't about lifting as much weight as possible. It's about learning how to move well, control their bodies, develop speed, and produce power, while making training fun.

As athletes get older and their sports become more demanding, that foundation becomes even more important.

Strength and conditioning gives athletes a dedicated time to develop the physical qualities that sport practice doesn't always address. It isn't about replacing practice or adding unnecessary fatigue. It's about building the athlete who plays the sport.

With the school year starting, we know schedules get busy. That's why we're transitioning to our school-year schedule starting August 31st:

**Monday–Friday | 3–7 PM**
Hour-long classes starting on the hour

Our small class sizes allow us to work with younger and older athletes in the same session while adjusting exercises and difficulty to meet each athlete where they are.

Different athletes.
Different levels.
Same goal: Get Better!

If you have an athlete who could benefit from structured strength and conditioning this school year, reach out. We'd love to answer your questions and have them come in for a free trial workout.

Your Athlete Has a Sport.
They Still Need Strength Training.

School sports are back, schedules are getting busy, and for a lot of athletes, strength training is one of the first things to get cut.

We understand why.

If your athlete has practice three or four days a week, it can feel like they're already getting plenty of exercise.

But being active isn't the same as training.

Sport practice has a job: helping athletes become better at their sport.

Strength and conditioning has a different job: helping develop the strength, speed, power, control, balance, and movement quality that allow them to perform that sport.

Your athlete doesn't necessarily need *more* conditioning. They need the right training to complement what they're already doing.

That's especially important during the season. In-season training shouldn't be about exhausting athletes or competing with their sport schedule. It's about adjusting the training to help them continue developing while managing practices, games, and recovery.

We don't want to make athletes more tired. We want to make them better prepared.

At Kutting Edge Fitness, we work with athletes throughout their season and adjust training based on their age, sport, experience, and current workload.

Sport practice helps athletes become better at their sport. Strength and conditioning helps develop the athlete who plays it.

Fall Schedule 🍂
Starting August 31st, we'll transition to our school-year schedule:

Monday–Friday | 3–6 PM
Hour-long classes starting on the hour

If you're already training with us, you can find the updated schedule in the planning app.

If you're not currently training with us and want to learn more about how strength and conditioning can fit into your athlete's season, reach out. We'd be happy to talk through what makes sense for them.

Strength training is about more than getting stronger. 💪

Research shows that a well-designed strength training program can help student-athletes reduce injury risk, build athleticism, and stay on the field.

As we prepare our fall training schedule, we're focused on helping athletes train smarter, not simply train harder.

If you're wondering how strength training can fit around your athlete's sport, send us a message!
