Connective Tissue Integrity

The robustness of their tendons & ligaments are mostly finalized by the end of adolescence. The kid that continuously loads their tendons and ligaments throughout their growing years - with various forms of exercise - will greatly reduce their chances of non-contact injuries like ACL tears, Achilles ruptures, and Tommy John.
