For children, the focus should be on fundamental movement patterns like squatting, trained through activities like broad jumps.

“It's not about core strength for kids. It's not about, uh, you know, if we look at what the body needs to do, I'm like, here, Dr. Patrick, is a squat for you. But if I had a kid jump from a seated position or do multiple broad jumps, it's that same squat position, same squat mechanic applied at speed load, same shapes, just with a different set of tools.”
