Re: overuse injuries

I have butted heads with my daughter's coach about this very thing. If he had his way they would train every day for a couple of hours. Being an athlete and knowing my daughter best I have allowed my daughter the month of Dec. to rest and recover from a long season. She and I lightly train once a week. I have done this the past two years and each time she came back stronger physically and mentally and was eager to begin playing again. He still doesn't approve but each season her improvement has been significant.
