PSA: Youth sports is failing where development is skipped

It is failing because we confuse more with better.

More practices.
More skill clinics.
Less recovery.
Less preparation.

Burnout and frequent or recurrent injuries are not bad luck. They are predictable outcomes of piling volume onto athletes who are under prepared for it.

If your athlete is always sore, dealing with an injury, fatigued, or stuck at the same level, it is not a skills problem.

It is not a “needs more reps” problem.

And it is not a sport specific training problem.
It is a capacity problem. A mismatch between training volume, recovery, and the demands you are asking them to meet.

At Made 2 Move and ESP, alongside , we build athletes first so performance can actually last.

Train smart.
Recover well.
Play the long game.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Fuel your comeback series💥

What you eat matters when you are healing, and when you pair solid nutrition with a proper rehab program, you set the stage for a stronger return.

Adequate carbs and protein, smart nutrient timing, vitamin C, antioxidants, and zinc all play a key role in rebuilding and repairing.

Give your body what it needs to recover well. And when in doubt, and have your back.

We are teaming up to bring you real, actionable nutrition info to help you build stronger, more resilient athletes. 🥗💪

Strength is built at the edge.

In ACL rehab and in all training, your body adapts when you push close to your limit. The slow, challenging reps create the change. 💪

That is the foundation of progressive overload.

You give your body slightly more stress than it is used to, like a bit more weight, another rep, or a harder variation, and it responds by getting stronger and more adaptable.

If you stop the moment it gets uncomfortable, you stop before the reps that actually create change.

Challenge drives adaptation. Effort builds strength.

Comfort does not.

Too many athletes finish ACL rehab without ever being objectively tested.

❌No quad strength data.
❌ No limb symmetry scores.
❌ No psychological readiness measures.

That’s not readiness. That’s guessing.

But here’s the nuance:
Numbers don’t tell the whole story.

They’re one piece of the puzzle alongside movement quality, load tolerance, and how your knee feels day to day.

Objective testing gives you clarity and context.
It helps guide decisions, not dictate them.

ACL rehab isn’t black and white. It’s a spectrum.
We use the data to build confidence and trust your body’s feedback.

At Made 2 Move, we test every athlete, every phase.
Because guessing isn’t rehab. It’s risk.

Stop chasing a made-up timeline.

Your knee doesn’t care what month it is. 🕒

ACL recovery isn’t about hitting a date. It’s about building capacity, confidence, and control. 💪

Real progress happens when you stop forcing your body to meet a schedule and start meeting it where it’s at.

Trust the process. Keep loading.

You’re not behind. You’re building. 🔁

Straight leg raises are one of the most common early exercises prescribed after ACL surgery… but that doesn’t mean they’re always effective.

Here’s the problem 👇

➡️ Most athletes don’t actually use their quad during the movement.

➡️ They compensate by squeezing their glutes and overusing their hip flexors, which means the quad isn’t doing what we need it to do.

➡️ This gives a false sense of “activation” without truly rebuilding quad control.

And if we don’t restore true quad activation early on, everything else down the line -like walking, jogging, jumping, cutting gets harder.

👉 That said, when the right provider uses this exercise for the right reasons, and makes sure you’re doing it correctly, it can still have a place. The key is intentional use, not defaulting to it because “everyone does it.”

Our goal early in ACL rehab isn’t just to do exercises… it’s to retrain the quad and the joints above and below to actually work normally again.

ACL tears are devastating injuries and rehab is complex. There’s a reason re-tear rate is so high.

The steps you take BEFORE and AFTER ACL surgery (IF you get surgery) will make the difference between a successful recovery and frustrating re-injury.

This is why most people don’t get back to 100% after an ACL tear:

They’re told their extension is “good enough”
They’re seen by non-ACL specialized providers
They’re given low level exercises and stretches
They aren’t given robust objective testing
They’re told their quad is “strong enough”
They’re told to return to sport way too early

They deserve better.

No matter what stage you’re in:

Considering surgery
Early post op
Returning to sport
Struggling years after surgery

Our ACL rehab specialists will help you return to doing the things you love safely & confidently after an ACL tear.
