Push-ups are great because you can do them anytime and anywhere you want to. Not a lot of equipment is required and it is believed that everyone can do them and/or can teach them.

Why are push-ups good for you?
1. Develop total body strength
2. Require body awareness and control
3. Improve core strength
4. Strengthen the upper body

Unfortunately, in today's athletic world, push-ups are not performed well by young athletes.

Why?
- Athletes do not have a strong upper body or core
- Coaches have athletes perform them at the end of practice during “conditioning”
- Form is never taught and athletes are told to do push-ups
- Different variations are not provided; athletes are told to do push-ups on the ground

When performing a push-up, athletes should:
1. Have their feet hip-width
2. Align their wrist with the armpit
3. Focus on having a long spine with a little low back arch
4. Form a triangle between the thumbs and nose when lowering their body
5. Focus on having their nose and chest touch the ground first and not the belly

A tip from Mike Boyle, a well-known strength coach: If you are an athlete 11 and older, it could be ideal to learn how to Bench Press. Learning how to bench can be a great way to improve upper-body strength which will help when trying to do a push-up.

Here is a video discussing how to perform the perfect push-up. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kt0_EGdVSE&t=133s
