I am all about feasible, pragmatic solutions.

FIFA’s working hypothesis on the link between menstrual cycles and ACL injuries is grounded in the idea that hormonal fluctuations—especially in estrogen, progesterone, and relaxin—may alter ligament laxity, neuromuscular control, and ultimately, injury risk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/ec92d4fe-bd7c-4297-b0e3-7167922da097/unsplash-image-GBE7eXuNQEU.jpg Blog - Real Talk on ACL Injuries in Female Athletes - OK, more and more girls are playing sports that have higher forces, but training disparities exist between the sexes! Girls receive fewer strength/conditioning resources compared to boys—this is a social factor that can raise injury rates (Source: Danielson et al) In elite women’s sports, like the WSL and NCAA, teams frequently underfund injury prevention (I prefer to say strength development), exacerbating the epidemic. No, the FIFA 11 is not enough. Nimphius wrote an excellent review here recently. In a new study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Richardson and her co-authors cast doubt upon explanations that rely solely on sex-linked biology. The researchers specifically honed in on “athlete-exposures,” a metric widely used in the field of sports science — and repeated without question by many journalists covering women’s higher rates of ACL injury. The popular measure embeds bias into the science, the researchers say, because it fails to account for different resources allotted to male and female athletes. Bias is not our friend folks. An optimal study design has a cohort of female athletes following a long term strength development program over years and tracks incidence rate as compared to a similar cohort of girls who do not. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/41b15cb5-f87d-42ac-9d40-87f5891c2c7a/leSEdgDFRLyOn6fMxlRu_carmenbott2.jpg Blog - Real Talk on ACL Injuries in Female Athletes LIGAMENTS need to be exposed to maximal strength efforts What Happens During Maximal Voluntary Contractions (MVCs): (these are maximal strength-focused efforts). Too often females are underdosed in the weightroom. I know this, because I train 100’s of girls and a goblet squat with a 15 pound DB is not sufficient. 1. Increased Ligament Stiffness (Over Time) Repetitive high-force loading (as in heavy strength training) may stimulate collagen synthesis in ligaments. This could lead to a modest increase in stiffness or tensile strength over months. Most of the evidence comes from animal models and long-term training studies in humans. 2. Improved Load Tolerance Ligaments exposed to regular MVCs become better at handling high mechanical loads without microdamage. This adaptation involves subtle changes in cross-linking of collagen fibers, contributing to strength—not elasticity. 3. No Change in Length or Laxity MVCs do not shorten or "tighten" ligaments. In individuals with ligamentous laxity, the passive joint restraint provided by the ligament remains unchanged, but functional stability improves due to stronger surrounding musculature. 4. Potential Increased Blood Flow & Metabolic Activity Repeated maximal contractions may temporarily increase local circulation and cellular activity near ligament insertions, supporting long-term remodeling. Ligaments are poorly vascularized, so these effects are subtle and slow. https://www.coachbott.com/blog/acl-rehab-what-does-good-rehab-look-like monthly 0.5 2025-06-11 https://www.coachbott.com/blog/late-stage-acl-rehab-sub-in-the-sampc monthly 0.5 2025-06-07 https://www.coachbott.com/blog/concussion-prevention-with-the-q-collar monthly 0.5 2025-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/1f70617d-494c-4b36-af53-08976c153e36/qcollar-781100d75dec42c4a0b263f6f515e9ce.jpg Blog - Concussion prevention with the Q Collar? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.coachbott.com/blog/the-long-game monthly 0.5 2024-12-14 https://www.coachbott.com/blog/personal-trainers-vs-strength-amp-conditioning-coaches monthly 0.5 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/76a2e97a-4ba7-4518-ae8d-47811f80baf4/Personal+trainer.png Blog - Personal Trainers vs Strength & Conditioning Coaches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.coachbott.com/blog/parents-were-listening monthly 0.5 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/1724537157005-YJDJ7I8VI9HN5URIUM7H/IMG_8421.jpg Blog - Parents, we’re listening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/1724537158694-W2GRQZBPJCHP9SQRAFXY/Jackson+tug+of+war.jpg Blog - Parents, we’re listening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/1724537158236-NQK5UDHFKY5IHOZF9CKQ/Jackson%2Band%2BLukas%2BSprints.jpg Blog - Parents, we’re listening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/1724537915066-Q7N5VDAYGWOIPYQD42LK/unsplash-image-OXF66pvD_4w.jpg Blog - Parents, we’re listening See how so many parents ask the same questions and are in the dark about the same things? This is where myself and my network will come in. Our goal is to shed light in the area of sport development for the young athlete. Sport, in of itself, should be an incredibly valuable and rewarding experience, no matter the level of competition. Parents, armed with knowledge are in the best position to assist their kids and make decisions that are optimal for them, at their stage. We hope this is something that adds value. https://www.coachbott.com/blog/do-injury-prevention-programs-work monthly 0.5 2024-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/1719704654305-YACORBX50RSC8GXTW605/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Do Injury prevention programs work? We know there are prophylactic effects (73.4% less change of ACL injury to be precise, Sugimoto et al., 2012) of participating in a comprehensive strength & conditioning program, especially for young female athletes who are most at risk for non-contact ACL injury. In fact, the proposition is this simple: About 3/4 of non-contact ACL traumas are preventable with a sound training program. The confusing part though for parents and athletes is what types of training is best? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd8b03aba8b36d8d7a14fe/06c9e749-de47-4ec9-bdbd-4e8a16561a39/YOUTH+DIGITAL+PROGRAMS+ARE+HERE.png Blog - Do Injury prevention programs work?
