What was said
"If you are interested in protecting your children so that they're less likely to be injured, sleep would be the number one thing I would lean into. There's not a single study that says that a child needs less than 8 to 10 hours of sleep. Zero studies say that. If you're growing a body, you need more than that."
Starrett asserted that sleep is the single most powerful injury prevention tool for young athletes, more effective than any training protocol or protective equipment. He emphasized that all research confirms children require 8-10 hours nightly, yet most youth athletes fall far short due to late practices, early school start times, and technology.
