Angela Jackson is a Chartered Physiotherapist who has spent the last 35 years seeking to understand why some young athletes get injured, yet others don’t. As a youngster, Angela played every sport going and excelled in tennis and hockey before developing a series of knee injuries that halted her sporting dreams. Her determination to prevent young athletes from developing preventable injuries has fuelled a career that has taken her from Canada, to working with national teams, Premier League Football clubs and schools across many sports.
She has become an expert in understanding all aspects of youth athlete development. She has helped hundreds of children fulfill their sporting potential, including enjoying watching her “recipe for success” help her own two children represent their country in their chosen sports.
Angela is a passionate educator of health professionals, coaches, athletes and parents regularly lecturing at conferences and providing courses and webinars both online and in person. She is available to speak at events and within schools and clubs on all aspects of injury prevention and young athlete development.
She has created the highly acclaimed online course Kids Back 2 Sport - From Injury to Return to Play in Young Athletes for health professionals to learn how to accurately diagnose and get kids safely back to sport.
