This is a video episode that I created for the facebook group. However, you should be able to follow most of the podcast without the video. In this show, I breakdown some of the logic I use to explain to my son why dribbling is important. Let me know your thoughts. To see the video go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/soccerparents  

In this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Joseph Janosky, MS, PT, ATC, Director of the Sports Safety Program at HSS | Hospital for Special Surgery.

We dove into the controversial topics of early sports specialization and overuse injuries, particularly within the realm of youth soccer. As a medical expert in this field, Joseph provided valuable advice for parents and coaches looking to make informed decisions for their young athletes.

We discussed the importance of load management, proper technique, and educating oneself on potential risk factors when ramping up training volume. Joseph emphasized the focus should be on improved health factors rather than specific outcomes.

However, with a well-rounded plan that includes nutrition, rest, physical strength, flexibility, and mental health, it's possible to raise skillful and healthy young athletes.
