Kids should read that article.

I teach guitar for a living and talk to all of my students about repetitive strain injuries. When I was younger I thought that if I worked through the pain I would get stronger. Turns out I got carpal tunnel and tendonitis. I tell my students that and every one of them looks surprised. They don't realise pain can be permanent.

It takes a lot of work to get kids to think about their careers instead of just tomorrow. Unfortunately a lot of coaches are rewarded based on winning games not building careers, so they contribute to burning kids out. Kids are smart though. If they read that article a lot of them would want to do the preventative, skill and strength building exercises it talks about. I'm going to forward it to some of my students and their parents.
