Primarily, we want to focus on how we can effectively prepare our athletes, male and female, by way of better training, to deal with the rigors of the game. The athlete, trainer, coach or fan who doesn't relaize that there are real differences and real issues when it comes to male versus female training has been on the Moon for the last two decades. In the last twenty years, we have witnessed more injuries related to inadequate or faulty training and a complete lack of understanding when it comes to biomechanics. The impact of that lack of understanding on the performance and participation of female athletes cannot be ignored or explained away. Take a look at any women's program in the world and you will find athletes with one, two, and, in some cases, multiple surgeries to repair the ACL. Incredibly, female soccer athletes are often affected multiple times, and bilaterally. There have been a number of theories proposed and much attention given but little in the way of concrete proof folllowed by an intelligent program of prevention. Rather, we see more of the same sort of "wait and see" with repair that we've witnessed over and again over the last two decades. Once again, tomorrow we will discuss certain studies and articles written within the last two years dealing specifically with the underlying etiology of the catastrophic ACL injury in female athletes. We will also discuss proposed treatment options, still after-the-fact, for these injuries; and again, primarily in female athletes. In upcoming blogs we will also focus on injuries specific to men, as well as shoulder injuries and the impact they have on goalkeepers, in particular.
