The Epidemic of Non-Contact Injuries

Are non-contact injuries simply "bad luck"?

Or maybe they're "just a part of the game"?

Sports cost more than money—they cost your child’s body. The best time to invest in performance, injury prevention and longevity is during childhood.

Youth Sports Are Intense & Repetitive

70% of kids quit sports by the age of 13. Why is that?

- Injuries

- Overtraining

- Burnout Source

The intensity of youth sports combined with poor physical development during childhood is resulting in more athletes succumbing to pain and injury.

Early Sport Specialization

Many parents decide to specialize their child at an early age because the talent level in youth sports has never been higher.

This seems like a smart, logical solution, but countless research and observations illustrate the long-term consequences of early sport specialization.

1) Overuse injury

2) Developmental deficiencies

3) Mental health issues

Practice Is Monotonous

Youth sport practices are not stimulating the physical and mental adaptations needed to mitigate injury and increase performance

1) Same "warm ups" everyday

2) Same robotic drills on a weekly basis

3) Same stretches and "recovery" everyday

4) Little novelty or creativity

Pillars of Performance

Coordination

In any sport, the athlete with superior balance and body awareness will have a clear edge. Sports demand instantaneous joint arrangement to execute powerful, efficient movements. Elite coordination is the backbone of athletic ability.

Capacity

How much physical activity or training can their body take before the risk of injury becomes too high? Increasing their capacity means they can safely handle a higher volume of practice and play. More opportunities to practice and play means more time to hone the skills needed to succeed in their sports.

Creativity

Skill is the power of discernment. The core of all competitive sports involves the ability to make split-second decisions that give them the best chance of winning. Creatively problem-solving for an incoming defender or anticipating an errant pass is what separates the good from great.
