This is especially true for high school basketball players, as many only have a few short seasons to express their athletic potential on the court.Įvery year in the United States, anywhere from 100,000 to 250,000 ACL injuries occur, many of these requiring surgery and subsequent therapy, training, and recovery for the athlete to return to their sport or activity.
While I thought sprinting fast, jumping high, and expressing power were all superior traits, I tend to agree more and more with his wisdom the older I get and the more I work with athletes. My dad pressed this saying into my head when I was young, and he repeats it all the time.
