[quote=Anonymous]You have to set those boundaries early for kids. Some will try to play through, but once they see that the parent absolutely means no playing through minor or major injuries, they are more likely to communicate how their bodies actually feel. If they see you do not care about the coach/team/parents' opinion but their health comes first and act on that, they will speak up more readily. All sports carry a degree of injury, and there is no way to prevent all of them. However, you can attempt to reduce the likelihood of injury. That is the best option outside of stopping the activity altogether. So, proper rest, nutrition, and injury prevention. As a side note, I personally believe for team-based field games (field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, etc.), turf fields are doing a ton of damage. Long hours of practice and games on those fields seem to be a major problem to me. [/quote]
