Hello to everyone and thanks for all the great tips and knowledge.
Since there is a wealth of knowledge here, I wanted to ask what conditioning exercises are best and which help in the prevention of knee injuries?
There is a reason for my question, obviously. My DD tore her ACL in a soccer game. She loves both Softball and Soccer, so you can imagine the news to my athlete that she would be out of commission for 6 months to a year. This happened in late 2006 and was cleared in July 07 to return to sports. Her glove and bat have returned to normal, but you can tell she's not light on her feet with side to side movement like she once was. Anything that I can insert in our conditioning routine to help other young athletes prevent this type of injury and help my DD regain her confidence and motion, you can bet it will be in our routine tomorrow.
Thanks for your time and response.
