I pledge to:
-
I will do my part to understand this devastating injury, including long term consequences, the risk facing girls and agility sports, how neuromuscular training works and what’s stopping us from implementing this proven solution.
-
I will do my part to share information, stories and resources that raise awareness and inspire action in youth sports, especially by program leaders, coaches, athletes and administrators.
-
I will do my part to implement or encourage neuromuscular training in my club, school or community. Two decades of research show that simple exercises done regularly can reduce risk of ACL injury as much as 80%.
I understand that by providing my information, I will be opted-in to receive communications about the National ACL Injury Coalition and other related content from the Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program. I also understand that I have the ability to opt-out at anytime.
