Their base isn't strong enough to support what they are trying to do What do you think is causing this problem? Throwing kids into strenuous environments too early - specifically travel teams What happens if you don’t have a strong base ? Performance is decreased and recovery time from injury is increased How can you fix or build a strong base? How do you know if you don’t have a strong base? You probably don't. Have them evaluated by a physical therapist and create a gameplay. This could start around 5th grade. What is the Athlete Centered Model and what is your Performance Team? Instead of having 4 or 5 different people coming up with a gameplan for an athlete (physical therapist, nutritionist, skills coach, personal trainer) - have all of them work together to come up with a joint gameplan What are the biggest restrictions to coaches and parents not being able to give their kids a good base.
