Support injured athletes with confidence
Why do some young athletes get injured, yet others don't? Some children can withstand high training loads every day, yet others can't. Injuries occur because we exceed the capacity of the body at that time. We either do more than the body has trained for, or our capacity has been reduced by lack of sleep, rapid growth spurts, inadequate nutritional intake, or increases in stress such as during exams. Many of these factors are under a young athlete’s control, they just need to learn how with the resources provided in the online course.
