Injured young athletes and their parents who are pushing for a speedy 
return to the athletic field may be doing more harm than good.

.

The biggest problem is overuse, said Dr. Chris Couture, a sports medicine 
specialist in Merrimack. Kids are overloading without taking time to be 
kids.

.

Were getting better at recognizing that on the professional side. The hard 
thing is to convey it. Theyre training for the future, and getting them to 
hold back is a hard thing to do. You definitely see it more and more.

.

Thus, Couture said, specialists have to resist the urge to rush a young 
athlete back.

.

The sports medical community definitely sees it more, he said, but the 
hard part is every parent thinks their kid is going to be the next Mia 
Hamm, et cetera.

.

Parents of younger athletes are taking more aggressive steps to improve 
their childrens performance, such as sending kids away to specialized 
athletic camps and having them play the same sport all year round.

.

When all of this work comes crashing down on an athletic field because of 
a serious injury, the effects can be severe physically, emotionally and 
financially.
