Show Notes
High school girls are experiencing a surge in noncontact knee injuries, particularly in sports like soccer and basketball, with rates jumping thirty-two percent from 2007 to 2022. These injuries, which affect females up to eight times more often than males, often result in surgery, rehab, and long-term mental struggles. However, simple prevention methods like FIFA eleven plus or PEP have been known for twenty-five years. Now, organizations like the American Youth Soccer Organization and hospitals like Scottish Rite for Children in Texas are stepping up to provide training and resources to high school teams, aiming to cut risks and protect young athletes.
