Let us know the topics of interest to you!Breaking the Line welcomes ECNL Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Drew Watson to the podcast for Episode 134 to discuss his latest research from the ECNL Center for Athlete Health and Performance. Watson sits down with ECNL President Christian Lavers and ECNL Vice President Doug Bracken to discuss the injury risk with sport specialization in female youth soccer athletes. Through a two-year study within an ECNL Club, Watson did not find any statistical significance in regards to injury risk between those athletes who specialize in soccer and those who play multiple sports. The conversation weaves through how the study was conducted, what the results mean, what can players, coaches and families do with this information, and ultimately, why is this important to the ECNL and its athletes. It's a riveting conversation, with great insights throughout without getting bogged down with too many technical details.
