What Causes Kids Sports Injuries

Kids and sports injuries...It's not the turf
There are few things in life as sure as death and taxes. Unfortunately, youth athletes sustaining sports-related injuries is quickly becoming a sure bet; from the dreaded ACL tear down to “Turf toe” or a sprained ankle. And despite the glaring hurdles these athletes are expected to face we still find ourselves discussing things that are really quite low on the priority list when it comes to addressing athlete health and minimizing their risk of injuries.
Multiple times a year I find myself sucked into conversations about artificial turf vs grass and how it relates to injuries. Evidence and research aside, I'd like to take this conversation in a different direction. Let's reiterate that the best thing we can do for our athletes is mitigate their risks when it comes to competitive sports. The key word is risks. And since people still want to focus on the turf, I'd like to take a moment to shout from the rooftops that:
IT'S NOT THE TURF YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT!
What do I mean by that? Simply put:
Dear parents and coaches, stop worrying about the playing surface and start focusing on the things that actually matter for player health and minimizing risk of injury. Focusing on the turf is like collecting nickles and dimes when you really want to find the $10's and $20's.
Since we can't control the weather or playing surface, let's dive into a few things that we have seen plaguing youth athletes for years that are 100% within the control of the athlete, parent, and coach. We call these “modifiable risk factors” and they're the real deal.
