Sound familiar? If you\u2019ve been around the sports\/floorball world for any length of time, you have seen it happen, probably more than once. What can you do to prevent this, and how can you overcome this when it does happen to your floorball team?<\/p>\n<p>First off all, conditioning and well prepared players, that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about. If you want to prevent most of your floorball player\u2019s injuries, then make sure that they are well conditioned, good pre-season practicing. Devote most of your early season to get your floorball players in good physical shape. Figure out your players during the early part of the pre-season. Do not just assign the entire floorball team to run x-number of laps or km\/miles and then attend to other things while they run. Make sure that out of condition floorball players, work gradually themselves up to game shape. Assign well conditioned players even more work to improve their fitness to an even greater level.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flrball.com\/drills\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2vs2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1183\" src=\"https:\/\/flrball.com\/drills\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2vs2-1024x329.jpg\" alt=\"Floorball practices and drills 2 vs 2\" width=\"584\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flrball.com\/drills\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2vs2-1024x329.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flrball.com\/drills\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2vs2-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flrball.com\/drills\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2vs2-500x160.jpg 500w, https:\/\/flrball.com\/drills\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2vs2.jpg 1316w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Never ever scrimp on warm-up time (can and should be done before the floorball practice, in my eyes!)
