Are any studies being done on other people. For comparison purposes.

Didn't read it, but it would be useful to compare data to other sports

The key word there being "girls" soccer. That's also at a prep level.

That was a hilariously ridiculous post and you know it. It also backed my point.

He words it wrong, but the point is there
