The attached video is a compilation of 10 - 12 different teams, no athlete repeated twice, that are considered gym favorites. The increase in injuries is prevalent. The video is only a demonstration of what we see on the floor. What is the number of athletes that where injured and not on the floor? Out of 3 gyms, 9 athletes are out for the season that I know of.
I am not sure how or why these injuries occurred But I ask each gym owner, each coach, each parent and each athlete to analyze why? Is it lack of coaching knowledge? Is it the increase in skill demand in all aspects of the score sheet? Be open and honest.
Maybe the USASF is seeing this in addition to the injuries sustained at EP events and saying we need to take aciion for the safety of the athletes. We need less braces on the floor and athletes to be able to compete the full season.
