Great slide highlighting the wider impact of this injury on young people. In my experience, support with these areas is vitally important. Goes without saying so is anything that assists with prevention @PowerUpToPlay
@Powlesy2000@BethCobs1@bmeado9@FadojuFunmi So pleased to hear this after all the rehab work. Having been on the same journey with my daughter, I know how hard it can be and the resilience required to get back on court.
Thanks for highlighting resources in this area - see also @PowerUpToPlay a recent initiative set up by medical professionals to prevent knee injuries in youth sport.
🚺 Women are at twice the risk of concussion and up to six times the risk of ACL injury.
🧬️ Our anatomy, menstrual cycles, nutrition, and even brains all play a part 🔄
But we can take control... 💪 💥

In terms of exposure, reach & impact, 💥 this is on a huge scale to anything that we have done before & represents a real chance to turn the tide.
This has only happened because of the fantastic contribution of many people. It is has not been easy, and yet we have got there.
@PowerUpToPlay is an amazing resource free for all sportspeople…young and old.
Quite simply if you can be bothered to do a 10 minute exercise drill at least twice a week your performance will improve and there is a 50-70% injury reduction rate
Encourage your friends & family
