One of the most important arm care tools available doesn't cost anything.
Communication.
Athletes should never feel like they have to hide soreness, discomfort, fatigue, or concerns about their arm in order to prove toughness.
In fact, honest communication is one of the strongest things an athlete can do.
When an athlete communicates honestly about how they are feeling, they are providing valuable information that helps coaches, parents, and support staff make better decisions regarding workload, recovery, and long-term development.
The alternative is often silence followed by a preventable setback.
The goal is not simply to get athletes through the next practice, bullpen, tournament, or season.
The goal is to help them continue developing, competing, and enjoying the game for years to come.
Arm care is a team effort.
