Why Athletes Get Injured?
We commonly see athletes get injured for two main reasons:
Going full speed too quickly. Many athletes aren’t active during parts of the year, so their bodies aren’t prepared for the strain of returning to competition. We encourage athletes to stay as active as possible year-round to prevent muscle atrophy.
Overuse and repetitive motion. The competitive nature of youth sports pushes many athletes to specialize in a single sport, but that isn’t the best path for every athlete. Specializing often leads to mental and physical burnout. The body is made for a wide range of movement, and repeating just a few motions without proper rest can cause problems long term.
