Glutes are the power driver of the lower body. They allow max force production to be created through the relationship with the ground. Before starting to strengthen in the weight room- focus on getting them to activate by doing body weight squat holds, split squat holds, and glute bridges on the floor. 

Good advice, thanks. We've been doing a lot more glute bridges and glute work all around.

 

Is there an "opposite muscle" of sorts that we need to focus on training in conjunction with glutes? Core? Quads?
