Female athletes are up to 8x more likely to suffer an ACL injury than their male counterparts.

That’s not a small gap. And for most young female athletes, it’s a risk they don’t even know exists.

The reasons are well documented — hormonal differences, wider Q-angle, different landing mechanics, and crucially, a lack of structured strength and conditioning work during the years when it matters most.

The good news? It’s not inevitable.

Proper S&C training — building hip strength, improving landing mechanics, developing body control under fatigue — directly reduces ACL injury risk. We know this. The research is clear.

The problem is most young female athletes aren’t getting it. They’re playing sport, going to training, working hard — but nobody is addressing the physical foundations that keep them on the pitch.

That’s exactly what we do at Child to Champion.

If your daughter plays sport, this is worth watching. 👆

What does a typical FSH session actually look like?

No mirrors. No intimidation. No one watching you.

Just a small group of like-minded adults, all on the same journey — and your coach.

Here’s how it runs:

First 10 minutes — mobility and movement prep. Getting your body ready to work, not just jumping straight in.

Then we move into power and strength work — tailored to YOU based on your individual profiling. Not a generic plan. Not what the person next to you is doing. Work designed around the qualities you need to improve your day-to-day life.

We finish with targeted accessory work — single leg strength, upper body, core — building the foundations that keep you moving well for years to come.

Every session. Every week. Consistent, structured, progressive.

This is what strength training should look like after 45.

The season is over. And most youth athletes will switch off for the entire summer and do nothing.

A couple of weeks off? Completely fine — the body needs rest. But when a couple of weeks turns into three months of zero physical preparation, they do not just stand still. They go backwards.

Strength fades. Movement patterns deteriorate. They walk into pre-season behind where they finished last season.

The ones who come back in September a different athlete — faster, stronger, harder to knock off the ball — are the ones who used this window properly.

The off-season is the only time of year with no match pressure, no fixtures, no recovery to manage. It is a clean block of time where real physical development can happen.

This is exactly what we do at Child to Champion. And we are getting close to capacity for the summer — so if you have been thinking about it, now is the time.
