About this ebook

Fit 2 Finish examines the reason injuries are rising in our youth athletes, how traditional training in today’s sports environment is contributing to the problem and provides the method and means to right this course, better preparing players to fend off injury as they develop in the game.

Goal: to educate coaches about how training can contribute to injury and instruct them in adopting healthy training techniques that are fun and effective for the kids they coach or train.

Uniqueness: F2F teaches coaches how to include healthy physical preparation with their team. It makes them practitioners of the F2F method with age-appropriate drills and games they can take directly to the field. Techniques will be supported by online video for visual reinforcement and shareability. The method is broad but the application can be tailored by the coach directly for his/her players. The F2F training plan is PRE-injury movement training, designed for the young soccer player (8-14+ years) to develop healthy sport movement that will prevent future injuries.
