Robert Duggan High Quotations

I see at least one injured cheerleader a day. It's from a combination of insufficient conditioning and dangerous routines. Girls fall from pyramids or land the wrong way on a jump. I think the injury risk in this sport is as high as football.

Trying to perform at peak levels day after day on a travel or high school team can exert excessive strain on growing bones, muscles and tendons. This can have a negative impact on overall performance and enjoyment of the sport if injuries in young athletes are not treated properly.

In soccer and other competitive sports that involve a lot of running, there is high risk for growth plate injuries and heel pain.
