Injuries are very much a part of football. We coach a contact sport, and that contact can create a vast number of different injuries to players of any age.

On this episode Joe and Daniel talk with Antoine Smith about how he keeps 5 teams of youth players healthy in practice to ensure they stay in love with the game, their parents don’t pull them out completely, and how we keep teams ready for a playoff push.
