Preventing Sports Injuries: A Guide for Young Athletes and Their Families

Athletes often search high and low for the secrets of success, but one of the most important pieces linked to amplifying their performance is simply being prepared.

While it seems obvious to prepare, mentally and physically, many athletes do not, leaving them susceptible to potential anxiety and physical injury.

Working from the principle that it takes 21 days to form a habit, consistency in pregame prep is key and athletes who follow a comfortable, thought-aligning pre-game routine not only minimize the chances for outside noise distractions, but lower the risk of injury that could hinder not only performance, but being able to have a lasting season.

Getting into a habit of a pre-game warm up routine, and post recovery, will help prepare the mind to focus, and the body to perform.
