I have been in the clinic and the field for over twenty years working with both and female soccer athletes. Any coach that wants to successful long term needs to have a strength and conditioning program for their athletes that has injury prevention as the base of their program. Furthermore coaches that are looking for just results are missing the opportunity to develop players completely. It is true their are many "theories" on ACL injuries; however what harm is there including the PEP program or any ACL prevention program?
