🚨 ACL injuries are ending too many young athletes’ careers.

The good news? They’re preventable.

We created a program just for female athletes to build stronger knees, improve landing mechanics, and boost performance — all while reducing injury risk.

💪 Designed for middle & high school athletes who jump, land, cut, etc.

⛑️ Injury prevention = long-term confidence & success

🎯 Performance-based training by a certified performance coach and a doctor of physical therapy, both trained in human movement and performance.

Spots are limited! Due to space and availability, we will only be taking the first 12 athletes. DM us or use the QR code in the post to grab a spot!

From “what is my body doing?” to “okay, we’re getting somewhere!”
⁣
Check out this before & after! In the first clip, you’ll see inefficient running mechanics—arms crossing midline, legs doing their own thing, and overall instability.
⁣
Fast forward to today: cleaner stride, improved arm drive, and more control Still a work in progress, but the difference speaks volumes.
⁣
Progress takes time, reps, and a whole lot of focus. Proud of the steps forward!
