[00:00:00]If you have pain here, that's jumper's knee.

[00:00:03]If there's a painful bump here, that's Osgood-Schlatter.

[00:00:06]Pain in the heel, Sever's disease.

[00:00:10]Pain here, little leaguer's elbow. So, kids don't get the same sports injuries as adults. And the reason is a design flaw. Preteens and teens have open growth plates. That means tendons and ligaments don't tear first, the bone does.

[00:00:25]And this is happening more and more because of ultra-specialization of sports at a young age. So, how do we prevent this? When they're very young, play multiple [music] sports. Take breaks and don't specialize too early.

[00:00:38]Remember, pain is a warning, [music] not a weakness.

[00:00:41]And here's a bit of a reality check. If you ask parents, one in five think their kids will play Division [music] 1. One in 10 think they're going to go pro.

[00:00:50]Training should be diverse and follow your child's joy. If you don't, it may be your child's growth [music] plates that start yelling at you.
