Progress return-to-play by criteria, not calendars

Steps

1. 1Define stage criteria BEFORE injury happens where possible
2. 2Each stage: pain-free capacity → sport-specific loads → reactive chaos
3. 3Test objectively per stage (strength symmetry, hop tests, speed percentages)
4. 4Progress on criteria met, never on schedule pressure alone
5. 5Include psychological readiness — fear of reinjury predicts actual risk
6. 6Full clearance requires full training week completed symptom-free

Common Pitfalls

• ▲Calendar-based clearances driven by fixture pressure
• ▲Skipping the final 'chaos' stage straight into competition
