The Prepare to Race™ Rider Planning Intensive
Join us Sunday, Dec 13th, 2026 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm at Joel Younkins Training LLC 1330 Seaborn Street Suite 3 Mineral Ridge Ohio 44440.
Every racing season begins long before the first gate drops.
The off-season is one of the greatest opportunities riders and families have to reflect, recover, prepare, and intentionally build toward the year ahead.
Join Joel Younkins Training LLC for our Prepare to Race™ Rider & Family Season Planning Intensive, a live virtual experience designed to help youth riders and their families develop a clear plan for the upcoming racing season.
This isn't simply about setting goals.
It's about understanding what it truly means to become ready: mentally, physically, emotionally, and as a family.
Together, Kelly and Joel Younkins will guide riders and parents through the Younkins Rider Readiness™ Framework while helping families build a practical roadmap for the season ahead.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This experience is designed for youth motocross riders and their families who want to prepare for the upcoming season with intention.
Whether you're entering your first race, planning your local series, working toward qualifying for Loretta Lynn's Amateur National, or simply wanting to enjoy the sport more, this workshop will help you build a realistic, personalized plan for the year ahead.
No matter where you are in your motocross journey, every rider benefits from taking time to reflect, learn, and prepare.
This is an interactive planning experience. You'll complete your own workbook throughout the session, participate in guided exercises, and have opportunities to ask questions. Some activities include optional discussion, but sharing your personal goals or race plans is never required. Our goal is to create a supportive learning environment where every rider and family can focus on their own development.
WHAT WE'LL COVER
During this interactive two-hour experience, we'll work through the Prepare to Race™ Rider Planning System together while introducing the Younkins Rider Readiness™ Framework.
Together we'll explore:
- Reflecting on your 2026 season
- Celebrating growth, wins, and accomplishments
- Learning from setbacks and identifying opportunities for improvement
- Setting meaningful goals for 2027
- Understanding Rider Readiness™ and the key areas that influence long-term development
- Planning for intentional training, recovery, nutrition, hydration, and physical preparation with Joel Younkins
- Building a personalized roadmap for the upcoming season
- Helping parents understand how to best support their rider throughout the year
- This is an interactive planning experience—not simply a presentation.
- You'll complete your workbook alongside us, ask questions, gain practical strategies, and leave with a personalized plan you can begin using immediately.
- You'll also experience our coaching philosophy, learn how we approach rider development, and discover how Younkins Motorsports supports riders and families throughout the year.

WHY ATTEND?
Most motocross families invest thousands of dollars in bikes, equipment, travel, coaching, and training.
Few spend intentional time creating a plan for the rider behind the helmet. This experience is designed to help you do exactly that.
Because racing is seasonal. Development is year-round.
We look forward to helping you and your family prepare with intention.
