    Nope, this is where I tell you that I have made my own observations and endeavoured to educate myself through reading and enquiry. I have been coaching youth football for some time and have noticed the soft tissue injuries and other ailments like severs, aching joints, and muscle soreness that hits kids around 14 to 16 years old.

    So while I am not a medical professional specialising in child physical development, I have spoken with physios, qualified sports trainers, the kids with the injuries and their parents and formed an opinion based on what I have seen, read and been advised by professionals.

    As I said, it would be pretty certain that most NPL and NEWFM coaches are not qualified sports trainers beyond the knowledge they picked up on their C licence. If you would like to run a survey of them and prove my contention wrong, then be my guest and I'll happily stand corrected.

    Certainly not anyone at NewFM, NPL or Emerging Jets level. If any of them were, we might be seeing more go through the program and get pro contracts. Everyone likes to write a thesis that lays blame on something. But while 0.05% of the population can have some long term problems with too much exercise, 99.5% would clearly be better off, and more than capable of doing an hour of exercise everyday. Our bodies were originally designed for manual labour from Sunup to Sundown. We've made ourselves soft and lazy with reliance on cars, tvs and computers, and people will try and justify this by saying they don't want to over train.
    Anyway, I'm running late for my 5.30 run and swim. See you in a couple of hours.
    Chuck.

    Just to lay your mind at rest. A lot of teams these days do not train as you say so early in the season. What they do is they may train for a three week bloc then go back on holidays for a period of time then come back and train for another bloc of three weeks etc. This is so because the off season in Australia is long and so the players, kids who ever, keep up some sort of fitness in the off season.
    What I am saying in a long winded way is that it is not full on training day in day out.

    Yeah this is the stuff. Want to get somewhere faster? Do this.

    The biggest problem to avoid for mine is impact injury usually during games.
