[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes! i know the person that wrote this article and I write articles about this on my website. I am a phd student in human and sports performance. I work with athletes of all ages. I have kids as young as 7 through college. We just customize to each athlete on where they are so they don't get hurt, continue to develop physically and biologically.

Yes what she talks about in this article is true. These kids play way to much of there sport, don't recovery, and they always have nagging injuries due to the overtraining and not properly dealing with the injuries they have cause of the fear they are going to lose their spot or never play again on their team. they are not pro athletes.

The issue is you have soccer coaches they don't understand how to properly physically develop their own athletes. They really are not taught this and I have experience because I have gone through some of the licenses that many of these coaches claim to have.

Physiology is never covered so they run these kids into the ground, practice hard every practice which is not good at all. This puts more wear and tear on your kids and then they do this 10-12 months out of the year....and to be honest, if many of you knew how the pro do it they don't do it like this at all.

I would be more that happy to answer questions. I probably pissed some people off but I just want to be honest. [/quote]

I believe you are correct.  I have a few licenses and a D license; there is not much on the topic of over training, if any subject matter at all.  I would be interested in contacting you further about this topic.  For some reason, the licensing body seems to have thrown out warm-up and cool downs.  The kids do not stretch their muscles any more, instead the focus is on just get out there and play. Let me know, Thanks![/quote]
