Show Notes
ACL tears among young athletes, particularly kids under fifteen and girls in soccer, netball, footy, and basketball, are surging. Australia leads the world in these injuries, with reconstructions up 74% over fifteen years. Experts attribute this to more kids specializing early in one sport, less outdoor play, and intense training without proper strength building. Prevention programs can reduce risks by 40-50% with simple warm-ups, but better education is needed to reach grassroots coaches. Support groups and sports psychologists aid recovery, but some athletes pivot to new sports.
