Sorry to hear about the ACL tears. I hope they recover well.I also apologize for being cocky and over the top in the passed with regards to my ego. I swear I was playing a part for the cause and had to do my part so information could come to bear I liked your takes on safety from ACL back before politics took over. I now know of three girls who have torn ACL in last three weeks. All socal and all have verbal. Why do girls have so many more ACXL injuries then boys? i cringe every time my dd plays this great game, high school or club. If match has playoff implications on the line, then she is all in. I pray for her and all the girls safety.
It may be a rough spring for injuries. We all want to rush the games and get back that time we lost. Slowly ramping back up is a really hard thing to sell right now.
Girls have a different leg geometry. Their quads are weaker, their hips are wider, and their legs slant inward. All of that puts more stress on the knees. The menstrual cycle also affects ACL risk in a way that I do not really understand. But it all adds up to several times the injury rate. We do PEP and isometric strengthening exercises to try to limit it.
