you know, done.

And then we can remember, we can make it hard with breathing and we can also make it hard with speed and we can make it hard with, right.

There's so many ways where we can challenge that body weight control stuff without just saying here, hold this.

We need to spend a lot more time jumping on landing on one leg.

learning to basically do some tumbling.

There's gotta be some aerobic training, but again, that can be done with tag and play.

You gotta have that exposure.

We probably don't train sprinting acceleration through games enough.

That's a real opportunity there.

It's not about core strength for kids.

It's not about, if we look at what the body needs to do,

I'm like, here, Dr. Patrick, is a squat for you.

But if I had a kid jump from a seated position or do multiple broad jumps, it's that same squat position, same squat mechanic applied at speed load, same shapes, just with a different set of tools.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

So we can suddenly see that...

FIFA had recognized that they were having an ACL problem in soccer.

It's a problem.

And they came up with a really well-documented, well-validated way of mitigating lower extremity injury in children with some simple hopping, simple neuromuscular control drills on a single leg.

And no one does it.
