Strong Women are Better Athletes

One in ten female NCAA athletes suffer a serious knee injury each year.  That is almost two soccer players per team.  Devastating?  Yes.  Preventable?  In most cases.  But what if doing exercises to prevent this common injury actually made you a better player, too?  Well, it does.  Strengthening certain muscles and learning correct body mechanics can reduce the likelihood of tearing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament up to 85%.  Here at Strong Women are Better Athletes, we want female athletes to be stronger, faster and quicker.  We don't want female athletes to continue suffering the painful and difficult recovery of an ACL injury. 

Goals

*To improve women's performance in their individual sports
*To motivate women to take responsibility for their athletic performance
*To raise awareness about ACL injuries and injury prevention
