What is the ACL?
Major Ligament in the Knee
Females are 6-8x more likely to tear their ACL compared to males
Anatomical, neurophysiological, and biomechanical factors explain why females are more at RISK for knee ligaments injuries.
ACL Injury rate is increasing
Sports that involve running, jumping, and quick changes in direction have increased risks for ACL injuries. The rate is increasing at 2.3% per year in the US.
You Can Reduce Your Chance of ACL Injury by 50-80%!
Research shows that specialized neuromuscular training exercises effectively reduce the rate of sports injuries, including ACL tears, by 50-80%!
Prevention Programs Work!
Experts highly recommend these programs and agree that they are under-utilized and need to be more accessible to athletes.
Why You Need An Injury Prevention Program
A ruptured ACL requires major surgery and rehab
An ACL Injury typically requires a major reconstructive surgery, followed by at least 9-12 months of intense rehabilitation. Social and emotional devastation often leave the athlete feeling lonely and depressed. The loss of independence can impact family and friends and be financially draining.
You CAN’T rely on practice or skills training alone
Coaches may not have the time or resources to give you everything you need to be a better athlete. They want you to perform your best and stay healthy, but they need your help. Stand out from the crowd — Be proactive and a strong leader — Take charge of your future. Coaches, this is a great tool to build community, confidence, and accountability.
Protect your knees for a long athletic career!
You LOVE your sport and don’t want an injury to end your season or career early, right? Many athletes never return to the same level of performance after an ACL surgery. Protect your knees so you can stay in the game for life.
Our Proven System
Save Time & Focus On What Matters Most.
We integrated the BEST components of world re-known programs to create a four-pillar progressive system that you can do at home. Master the four pillars below to bulletproof your knees from non-contact injuries, such as torn ACLs.
Strength
Lower extremity strengthening for hip, core, quadriceps, and hamstrings muscles is important for supporting and protecting the knees.
Balance
Balance training improves body awareness, alignment, joint stability, and muscular endurance, which are important for preventing injuries.
Agility
Agility and plyometric exercises improve quickness, motor control, and reaction time, enhancing performance and reducing the risk of ACL injury
Landing Mechanics
Poor technique when landing from a jump is a major predictor of ACL injury. Movement retraining is a MUST and should start as early as 10-12 years old.
