   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • know my inner thigh muscles pull my legs together. A strain can range from a small tear to a complete tear.
   • I know a sudden kick, sprint, turn, slip, or wide step can cause this injury.
   • I tell my team about past groin injuries. Tired or weak muscles and a rushed return to sport raise my risk.
   • I protect my groin from painful kicks, sprints, and wide steps while it heals; I do not test it with hard stretches.
