ACL INJURIES SIDELINE ATHLETES.
Most at risk? Agility sports (like soccer, lacrosse, basketball…) and females.
Majority of ACL tears are non-contact - during agility moments, cutting, landing (the good news - this means they are preventable).
Why? Deficits in lower body strength + control. Recovery = 9-12 months.

RAISE THE ODDS, NMT TRAINING.
Neuromuscular training ↓ ACL risk by 50–80%.
Strength + agility + balance → improves athleticism, safer movement mechanics & less pressure on knees.
