Injury Risk Reduction
Injuries cannot always be prevented, but there are things we can do to reduce risk, limit severity and identify problems earlier. Understanding what can influence injury risk helps coaches focus on the things they can control and create an environment that supports players to stay healthy and participating.
What to know
Injury risk is rarely down to one thing. Factors within the player, such as growth, recovery and health, interact with factors around her, such as training load, playing conditions and team culture. Coaches cannot control everything, but they can influence many of these factors.
