Technique - It has always been and always will be about technique

Listen to Dr. Anthony Beutler talking about ACL Injury Prevention at the British Journal of Sports Medicine's podcast page - The JUMP-ACL study with Anthony Beutler

"There is no magic in the exercises....What really seems to be magic is the coaching [my emphasis]. Is actually getting people to change the way they perform these tasks, so that they do them in a more biomechanically sound [manner] with a movement pattern that is less risky for injury puts them at less risk for injury. That really seems to be the key so we emphasize good form, your knees need to be in line with your hips, your knees need to be in line with your toes, your toes need to be pointed straight forward and that you land softly."
Like I said, it always has been and always will be about technique.

EVERYONE NEEDS A KNOWLEDGEABLE COACH!
