My good friend Erica Suter posted this the other day on my twitter page and I wanted to share it with you
” If young female athletes nailed down sleep, nutrition, and recovery/meditation, the ACL epidemic would decrease immensely. Nourishing the brain and the body are the icing on the cake to movement quality and total body strength training.”
There were a lot of retweets because this is 100% accurate and there was also some coaches chiming in with
“And more hamstring work”
“Mini Band Work”
“Strengthen the knees”
The thing is, all of those comments is part of a complete strength and conditioning program
If coaches are only focusing on hamstring work, or mini band work or a dynamic warm up or exercises that strengthen the knee, they are missing the boat big time
All of this needs to be in your strength and conditioning program, and yes you need to have a program
Randomly throwing together hamstring work one practice then mini band work the next practice is not going to reduce your chances of having an ACL injury
A complete strength and conditioning program will, that focuses on
– sleep
– nutrition
– reducing stress
– meditation/yoga
– strength and conditioning
Something to think about
I would love to know your thoughts or experiences, just hit reply
