BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) BASE Sports Conditioning on Multi-Sport Athletes - February 7th, 2013

Reminder : This clinic will be held one week from Thursday on Thursday, February 7th. Call now to register and reserve your place for our informative coaches clinic.

Final call for registrations to attend the Multi-Sport Athlete Seminar on Thursday, February 7th. Please call today to reserve your spot at the clinic with Mike Mejia.

As the presentation draws closer, I just wanted to chime in with a little more information about some of the topics I'll be addressing.

We'll start out looking at some mind-blowing injury statistics related to youth sports. If you don't think this is a major problem in our society- prepare to have your mind changed!

Next, we'll examine the 5 major factors responsible for the rapid decline in the number of multi-sport athletes in recent years- along with suggested ways to help remedy the problem.

I'll show you a warm-up protocol that will cut your athletes' risk of sustaining a serious knee injury by up to two thirds, some of my favorite age appropriate drills for improving mobility and strength, as well as identify the most common nutritional mistakes that kids make on a daily basis.

All in all it promises to be an extremely informative evening for all in attendance.

Hope to see you there!

Coach Mike

Is there a possibility this presentation will be given again in the future? Cannot make this Thursday

Yes, depending on the turnout for this one.

This is a message that needs to be heard, despite the fact that it doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves.

If you know of a school, or a travel, or town team that would be open to hosting such an event, just contact me and let me know.

Best,

Coach Mike

Spots are filling up rapidly for this exciting free event!

There's still some room left though. So call, or email today to reserve your place.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Best,

Coach Mike

Any reports from anyone who went last night?

Turnout was disappointing, although the message was well received by those in attendance.

The sad reality is that a lot of people just don't want to hear about injury prevention. Had I titled the presentation "How to train to gain a college scholarship" I wouldn't have been able to keep people away.

No matter though; I'm not going to stop making presentations of this type anytime soon.

News 12 was there, however. So expect to hear more about this topic in the very near future.

Thanks for asking,


Coach Mike
