Register for Webinar: Developmental vs. Biological Age — Unlocking the Windows of Opportunity in Junior Development
Dec 2, 2025, Virtual, Zoom
FMS Academy Members-only event!
Every young athlete develops at a unique pace. Understanding the difference between developmental and chronological age is essential to helping them reach their full potential. In children and teens, biological age can differ by as much as three years from chronological age — meaning a ten-year-old could be functioning more like an seven- or thirteen-year-old biologically. These differences can profoundly influence coordination, strength, endurance, and even motivation, making individualized approaches to training critical.
In this webinar, Dr. Greg Rose will explore how growth, maturation, and skill acquisition align with key windows of opportunity for learning and performance. Dr. Rose will demonstrate how recognizing these developmental differences helps coaches, trainers, and parents optimize training, prevent injury, and guide young athletes toward long-term success.
Key Takeaways:
• The difference between developmental and chronological age.
• Why two athletes of the same age may be at completely different stages of readiness.
• How to identify and leverage critical periods of accelerated growth and learning.
• Practical strategies for designing age-appropriate, individualized training programs.
Whether you’re a coach, healthcare professional, or parent, this session will reshape the way you approach junior development — ensuring every athlete gets the right training, at the right time, for the right reason.
