What If?
Yesterday when I was swimming laps I started think about what if? There are many things we all see day to day in out field that probably make us think about what if? So I just fanaticized for a few laps and this is what I came up with?
- What if there was no artificial turf? Would there be fewer injuries?
- What if football didn’t use the 40 as a measure and used just the ten instead? How different would the draft have looked?
- What if we had required Physical Education K -12 again, would we be better off than we are now or would it be back to roll out the ball?
- What if we eliminated summer leagues in all sports below the age of 16?
- What if doctors had to take courses in exercise and health?
- What if there were no MRI’s? Would we have as many sports injuries?
- What if football coaching staffs in college were limited to six coaches and a recruiter and scholarships were reduced to 65? Would schools still have to eliminate sports?
- What if you were Chairman of the Presidents Council of Physical Fitness? What would you do?
These are just a few of my thoughts before I started to drown.

Interesting "what if's"....and of all of them, i liked the "eliminate summer leagues". not because i don't want kids to have fun...but maybe BECAUSE i want kids to have fun...imgine if we returned summers to the way they were a long time ago...unorganized play, more creativity, less pressure...
I would put money (which i dont have agreat supply of!) down to bet that we would have fewer overuse injuries and more athletic individuals!

What if basketball coaches actually ran an open gym in the summer where only a pick-up game occured?
What if the NFHS banned in-season athletes from participating in any type of club sport?
What if health insurance companies would hold parents finacially responsible for their kid's overuse injuries because they are involved in 2 sports at a time, practicing 7 days a week.
What if the FDA started to regulate the sport supplement industry and only allowed supplements with legit research to back up their claims to be sold?
