Because of the most recent ACL injury in the latest Super Bowl, a lot of attention was shifted to the quality of the field surfaces as being the main culprit. However, when you actually compare the data from the 2021-22 season, you will find out that ACL injuries occur on grass fields about the same amount as turf fields.

Sports injury causes are often multi-factorial. While it is easy to point the finger and blame one potential cause, it's always good to look closer at the data to determine the true potential causes of injury. It is always good to ensure that all athletes have the best possible preparation to maximize their potential to avoid and resist injury.
