Solving Female Athlete ACL Injuries

03 May Solving Female Athlete ACL Injuries

Posted at 14:37h in ACL Injuries, ACL Injury Prevention, Blog by erica 0 Comments

I have a solution: how about we stop focusing on what we can’t control, and start focusing on what we can?

To truly empower female athletes, we have to stop pulling the female card.

Here is a list of controllables to start today:

1. Strength train
2. Fuel with food properly
3. Get quality sleep
4. Manage year-round sport load
5. Recover
6. Have an off-season

And until you do all these, stop blaming the female factor.

HERE is a podcast I did with Coach Bre from Raising Unstoppable Girl Athletes on helping with ACL injuries in female athletes. Enjoy.
