Having kids in sports is an investment for sure and there is nothing more frustrating for an athlete (or a parent) than getting an injury mid-season that takes them out.
But, how do you keep athletes in tip-top shape, motivated, and strengthening the whole body? Cross Training is the answer! According to a Johns Hopkins Medicine article, "Cross Training is important for athletes so they are not continuously putting stress on the same muscles and joints."
