BEST WITHOUT INJURIES

Training regularly is essential for improving and enjoying your sport over time. When you're injured, it prevents you from consistent training. Did you know that a previous injury increases the risk of a new one? That's why injury prevention is crucial to help you enjoy and perform in your sport. This program is designed to help you stay injury-free, so you can keep progressing and enjoy your sport for many years to come.

LOAD MANAGEMENT

Injuries are complex and can be influenced by many factors, such as training volume, physical condition, recovery, and overall load – to name a few. Although it is not easy to influence all of these factors, load management is an important aspect that can help reduce the risk of injuries. By properly balancing training load, you can decrease the risk of injuries. Together with coaches and parents, you can ensure an adapted load that allows for development while giving the body enough time to recover.

THE YOUNG ATHLETE

For young athletes, adolescence is a time of many changes, both physically and mentally. It is during this period that we grow and develop, which is why it is important to be patient and understand that this phase is about building a solid foundation—not about being the best right now. Training habits that emphasize gradual progression, enjoyment, and versatility will lay the groundwork for a long, fun, and rewarding career in sports. By focusing on mastery and development, one can experience continuous progress and joy in sports in the future.

THE YOUNG BASKETBALL PLAYER

Young basketball players can increase their risk of injury by spiking their training loads. This often happens when they start sport specialization in school, which adds on to their current training load. Learning how to jump and land with a proper technique can reduce your risk of sustaining a serious knee or ankle injury. Having fewer injuries can make you a better player!
