Jump Smart Revolutionary ACL Injury Prevention

We can do a lot better than just throwing a band around the knees and doing monster walks. There is SOO many other/better ways to move the needle.

Knee valgus can be complicated. And there is more nuance than just an IG post but knees "caving" in is a strategy to extend the collision specifically with deceleration.
This could be because 1. We are weak and don't trust the quads and hamstrings to decelerate more knee flexion and be able to get back up. 2. We lack the co-contractions to generate enough stiffness to get us out of a more compressed shape (cutting/landing). Moral of the story - if you want to "fix" your knees going in I have found spending time "jumping" in deep ranges really helps us learn to decelerate and manage these deep joint angles better.

There is a huge gap between the clinic and the sport. We perform these incredibly low level injury prevention drills and expect them to help but they are not even close to resembling what we need to move the needle in injury risk reduction. MAYBE that is where we should start with but we HAVE to progress to intensity's and environments similar or closer to their sport.

ACL tears are brain errors. Our prevention strategies should account for this fact. There is lots of emphasis on strength, stability, biomechanics etc and rightfully so but no one is talk about the brain.

Perfect is not the goal. Movement options is. Congrats, you hit a perfect landing with all your focus on the landing in the nice cool AC clinic with carpeted floors and now expect that to help you in your sport. Those tow things could not be more different. Our goal is to slowly layer chaos onto these landings to better be able to handle a wide variety of landings.

The goal is not to avoid positions necessarily but rather to get better/more efficient at managing the forces we experience.
