Why an injury prevention program?
Many ACL injuries result from improper landing and mechanical faults. In the majority of cases, the non-contact ACL injury occurs during landing from a jump or stopping to change directions. Female athletes are several times more prone to non-contact ACL injuries than male athletes.

Athletes must be taught the proper techniques of how to run, jump, land, and move before they execute endless amounts of drills and exercises in team practices.

What is the purpose of the program?
The main purpose is to reduce the risk of knee, ankle, and leg injuries through the proper execution of change-of-direction and landing techniques.

What is the basis of the program?
The Sport Injury Prevention Program incorporates the basic principles of acceleration, deceleration, and change-of-direction of the Sport Specific Speed program.

The program goes further by emphasizing landing technique, balance, and specific strength development. Strength is improved through bodyweight activities specific to skills such as deceleration, change-of-direction, and landing.

The program is delivered with a low instructor-athlete ratio.
