I would love to track how people train, practice, and get injured. Also what level, age, and what time of year. As well as the severity.
I think it would be very telling.
We had four competition weekends in a row with the 3rd comp being a two day comp with both days being 10-12 hour days for most of the girls. On the last practice before the 4th comp we had 3 rolled ankles, numerous sick kids, and the practice was pretty much a waste for all teams because they were so mentally and physically exhausted. I've never had a flyer hit the ground and there were three that were dropped that day on my team alone.
We are definitely going to be handling the comp schedule a little more carefully next year and planning to take it easy the week after a strenuous 2 comp, especially since this one fell in the middle of flu season.
