One of the biggest causes of ACL, overuse and other injuries we see in our female soccer players is this: Not having a load management plan and adding random conditioning on top of practice. ‼️When there are huge spikes in workload that increases injury risk. If you feel you have to punish your players with runs to build toughness, you have the wrong definition of mental toughness. Mental toughness is being disciplined with the basics, being diligent with how you plan training, focusing on QUALITY outputs, and ensuring your players can last the long game and stay healthy. For macro conditioning of the player, there must be a plan in place with practice design and small sided games. Coaches add extra conditioning based on their feelings and not objective data. This puts the players at a major risk for injury when load is mis managed. There is so much more to be said here, so I'll say this: Adding extra conditioning also makes players fear you. Why do you want to be feared? The culture should be more about respect and discipline with doing what is right for one's health.

Confidence does NOT come from constant affirming and validating. It comes from DISCOMFORT and overcoming HARD THINGS. Please beware of how validating mental coaching and therapy has become. Some people need to be called out and propelled to take action in order to make change. NEW EPISODE:
