Basketball wasn't always the fast-paced game it is today.

With high speeds and more physical contact, the risk of injury has increased greatly over the last century. Players commonly suffer ankle sprains, jammed fingers, knee injuries, foot fractures, and more.

Work these prevention techniques into your training to keep players safe and healthy.
🏀 Require pre-season physicals
🏀 Take frequent water breaks and push for adequate hydration
🏀 Focus on conditioning and proper fitness
🏀 Do not play year round
🏀 Work on good form and mechanics

Don't let an injury keep anyone on the bench this season.

In the simplest of terms, antioxidants are molecules that fight free radicals in your body. 💪

What are free radicals, you ask? 🤔 They are compounds that cause harm if their levels become to high in your body. They're linked to multiple illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Antioxidants can be found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based, whole foods. Vitamins, such as E and C, are effective antioxidants. So pack your diet with some extra healthy snacks to keep your body in tip-top shape.

Remember that turkey is a good source of protein, B vitamins, zinc, and other nutrients. So grab yourself a couple extra helpings. That tryptophan nap afterwards will be excellent rest for your body.

We wish you a wonderful day with family and friends, and remind you to stretch before that backyard football game. 🏈

✨ Efficient ✨ training sessions are more effective than longer ones.

Whether you're a new coach or have years under your belt, here are some tips for making the most of your practice time.

1. Plan out each practice to the minute, and time segments ⏱️
Carefully decide your goals for the day and plan the drills you need to implement to accomplish those goals. If available, use a scoreboard or large clock to time your drills and segments. By doing this, you will be able to stay on task and keep practice moving at a desirable pace.

2. Establish routines 📆
Some examples of establishing routines are: setting up the gym, players stretching before practice, starting practice with a huddle and your thought of the day, warm-up routines, implementing drills that are used often, methods of closing practice, and more.

3. Avoid using meaningless drills 🚫
Every drill that you use should have a purpose. The concepts that each of your drills teach must fit into the system of play that you are implementing with your team. Just because a drill looks great doesn’t mean that it will have a positive impact on what you’re trying to accomplish with your team.

Thank you for helping kids learn and grow. Good luck!

That adrenaline that hits when the game is on the line can push players to go harder than might be safe. This is a big reason to focus on safe play during practice, and reassure athletes that their wellbeing is more important than winning.

Hey moms and dads and all other guardians! 👋

Please know that you mean more to your kids' athletic activities than just writing checks and giving rides. Your support is crucial to players becoming the best versions of themselves, on and off the field or court. While you're in the stands cheering for your children, we're here cheering for you.

❤️ Thanks for all that you do. ❤️

Hydration is vital to feeling and performing your best. Think of your body as a machine, and water is the lubricant that keeps all the parts working together smoothly.

Let's take a look at the subtle signs of dehydration:
🤢 Bad breath
😦 Hunger
🤕 Headache
🥴 Lack of focus
😑 Constipation

There's no one-size-fits-all solution to drinking enough water or fluids for proper hydration. Don't worry about the number of ounces, just make it a habit to take sips on a regular basis throughout the day.

Is your child at risk for injury? 🤔

Softball players are most commonly affected by overuse injuries.

Pitchers tend to suffer from tendinitis in the shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist, as well as pain in the back or neck. Catchers frequently have back and knee problems. Many of the positions also end up dealing shoulder issues caused by overhead throwing.

Here are some ways to prevent these common injuries and stay on the field:
🥎 Warm up and stretch properly
🥎 Rotate playing positions
🥎 Concentrate on age-appropriate pitching and skills
🥎 Don't play year-round
🥎 Focus on good mechanics and form
🥎 Do not play when in pain

Have fun and stay healthy out there you Queens of Diamonds!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Today should be a little extra fun with all the festivities.

When the trick-or-treaters stop ringing your doorbell, kick back to watch a classic Halloween movie. Enjoy some hot apple cider and a little bit of candy; just don't go overboard or make yourself sick. Relax and let your body rest so you can take on Dia de los Mu***os ready to practice or play.

About Us

The McBride Foundation strives to improve the health of active Oklahomans through sports injury awareness, especially in youth athletes. We fund grants, research, and provide education to programs across the state. Through the Preserve Education Program, we conduct seminars to teach youth athletes, parents, coaches and the community how to prevent injury.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, formed in 2005 by a group of physicians led by Dr. Thomas Howard. Dr. Earl D. McBride, a pioneer in the field of orthopedics and arthritis care, believed in a life of service and began a legacy that continues today through the work of the McBride Foundation.
