Andy Robinson at Eastside - we love you.
Andy gave me his ACL injury prevention at the coaches' convention this year. He told me that he had NEVER had a player lost to a knee injury. We took and implemented the seven exercise program in its entirety all year and in preseason conditioning.
RESULTS:
1. NO knee injuries to any player who participated in preseason conditioning or winter sports after 7 during the 2007 season. Thank you, Andy.
2. The only MCL injury came from our only player who didn't participate in preseason conditioning, and she did it when she fell on her own and rolled and hurt her MCL. She played afterwards.
Safety first always. Thank you Coach Robinson for the wonderful advice and for sharing a program that improved the soccer experience for our children.
