ACL injury prevention

So last week a doctor that plays on a mixed team with me (my backup plan for bravo) sent out an email with an attachment concerning ACL injuries. I am willing to bet that all of us know at least one person that has suffered an ACL/MCL injury while playing ultimate. For women ultimate players it is even more likely you know someone, since they are 5 times more likely to suffer the injury.

Her attachment was a simple 20-30 minute warmup/excercise program. It just went over a few stretches and plyos that can be done either before practices or workouts or even just on their own. Since I am new to the whole blog thing, I don't know how to put an attachment on a post. Maybe Finch will inform me after he reads this (and probably gets a good laugh from it too.) If you can't wait for this golden information, and your just itching to know, you can just email me and I'll send it to you.

On another note: Congrats to the goats players that were at No Surf. Hope you guys build off your experience and have a great season
