Girls get injured differently.Prevention shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.

Youth sports systems were never designed around female physiology. G-MIP transforms sports medicine research into practical injury prevention systems that schools, coaches, and communities can implement — starting this season.

The Urgency

The numbers tell a story we can change.

Female athletes are asking for the same tools their male peers already have. The evidence exists — implementation is the gap.

The Real Problem

The issue isn't injuries. It's the systems around them.

Research already tells us what works. Schools, coaches, and athletes still struggle to put it into practice — consistently, every week.

Research

Decades of female-specific sports medicine research exists in journals.

Gap

Findings rarely reach the practice field or the sideline.

Coaches

Without standardized tools, prevention is inconsistent across teams.

Gap

Athletes receive uneven education about their own bodies.

Outcome

Preventable injuries keep happening in the exact same patterns.

Our Approach

A complete system — not a one-time presentation.

G-MIP works through eight interlocking initiatives, each designed to translate evidence into daily practice.

Four-Week Workshop Series

A standardized in-school program covering warm-ups, ACL prevention, balance, and recovery.

Coach Integration Tools

Warm-up templates, sideline cards, and decision support that fit inside real practices.

The G-MIP Hub

A digital resource center for athletes, coaches, parents, and healthcare providers.

Rehabilitation Kits

Equipment and guided protocols distributed to schools that lack access to recovery tools.

Community Outreach

Screening days, family education, and partnerships with local health providers.

Student Leadership

Peer-led ambassador programs that embed prevention into team culture.

Systems Advocacy

Working with schools, districts, and policymakers to standardize female-specific practice.

Strategic Partnerships

Collaborations with sports medicine clinics, universities, and youth sports organizations.

The Science

Female-specific — because bodies are.

Much of youth sports programming was built around research on male athletes. G-MIP bridges that implementation gap with practices grounded in female physiology.

Biomechanics

Wider pelvis and Q-angle create different force vectors through the knee.

Neuromuscular Control

Differences in muscle firing patterns influence landing and cutting.

Hormonal Influences

Cyclical changes in ligament laxity affect injury risk windows.

Landing Mechanics

Female athletes are more likely to land with knees collapsed inward.

Growth & Development

Adolescent growth spurts change coordination and joint stress patterns.

Concussion Presentation

Symptoms often present and resolve differently than in male peers.

Recovery Patterns

Return-to-play timelines and rehabilitation needs are not identical.

Theory of Change

From systemic problem to safer culture.

Long-term systemic change — not isolated one-off events. This is the path we walk with every school we partner with.

  1. Step 01

    Systemic Problem

    Female-specific research exists — but rarely reaches practices, gyms, or fields.

  2. Step 02

    Education

    Athletes and coaches learn evidence-based prevention in a structured workshop series.

  3. Step 03

    Consistent Practice

    Standardized warm-ups, drills, and tools become part of every training week.

  4. Step 04

    Behavior Change

    Prevention becomes a habit — not an add-on — for the whole team culture.

  5. Step 05

    Reduced Injury Risk

    Non-contact injuries drop; athletes stay in the game they love.

  6. Step 06

    Safer Culture

    A generation of female athletes grows up in systems built for them.
