Children are our future, not just for the world, but for the D1 Training athletic landscape.

As the market for youth sports continues to grow, so does the desire among young athletes to compete at their highest level.

New data from D1 Training shows both engagement and satisfaction increases from youth athletes at D1.

“Our mission has always been to develop the complete athlete,” said D1 founder and CEO Will Bartholomew. “That means pushing the body with science-backed training, strengthening the mind with confidence and discipline, and shaping character through accountability and teamwork. This data provides clear evidence of the lasting impact of that holistic approach.”

D1 currently trains over 100,000 scholastic athletes yearly through the scholastic training programs--and the results are noticeable.

A survey of D1 parents found that over 90% of parents saw their child improve in physical fitness, enhance their athletic skills, and even grow in terms of leadership, teamwork, confidence and motivation.

On The Turf: Powered By D1, On3 and Rivals CEO Shannon Terry recently said, “I'm a huge believer in youth sports. As college athletics increasingly resemble professional sports, youth sports are starting to take on the role college once played. I'm betting heavily on the future of high school and youth athletics.”
