Q: Your book recommends that kids take three months off from a given sport per year. How did you decide on that timeframe?
A: Three or four months is what we recommend, but they need at least two. Fatigue can take the form of event fatigue, which might mean too many pitches in a baseball game; it could mean seasonal fatigue, too many innings in a season; or it could be year-round fatigue, which means year-round baseball. Our research program at ASMI showed that a kid participating in youth baseball with fatigue in any of those three categories is 36 times more likely to injure his throwing shoulder or throwing elbow or both. If that doesn't get the parents' and grandparents' and coaches' attention, nothing will.
