It was the most difficult but the most rewarding. Luckily in the past none of the players I have coached have suffered an injury while playing. I am glad nothing did happen as I am just now noticing the seriousness and consequences of a child getting injured under my supervision. Although I believe I would have done a little better that the baseball coach in the ASEP unit one reading.

This growth spurt creates tension and instability in the muscles and tendons, making them more fragile and more susceptible to pulls or strains. " Years of training can cause overuse injuries, "a problem plaguing teens across the country (page 14)", because our bodies are not yet ready to handle the intensity of the practice required to "go pro".
