Re: Random, Scattered Disturbed Thoughts
just found out my buddy's 12 year old son tore his ACL training for hoops. 12 years old. training. torn knee. I've argued with my buddy about this plenty of times, but his boy loves playing ball (no **** he does, he's 12), "he's a kid! he can play for days at a time!"
stop overexerting your kids. stop specializing them in a single sport. keep them the hell away from AAU. repetitive motions cause injuries. you know how it seems like pro athletes knees are getting shredded at an astronomical rate? it's because those elite kids have been training, hard, for 20+ hours a week since before they hit high school. they're not ****ing robots.
