HCA HealthONE Sky Ridge

⚽ Soccer is one of the world's most popular sports, but it also comes with injury risks. Did you know girls are much more likely than boys to tear an ACL? In fact, female high school athletes are three to six times more likely to suffer this serious knee injury. The good news? Many ACL injuries can be prevented with the right training and conditioning.

Dr. Brooke Pengel, a pediatric orthopedic specialist with HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children's on the HCA HealthONE Sky Ridge campus, explains the most common soccer injuries, why they happen, and what athletes, parents and coaches can do to help prevent them.

Whether you're cheering on your favorite FIFA team or watching your child play this season, it's a great reminder that injury prevention starts before the game begins.
