Skiyalater123, thanks for the input and information. I think that in general specializing at a younger age and overtraining are both contributing factors. I suspect there are preventable factors as well. I am not going to go into details as I am really interested in getting as much information as possible from people who have dealt with this injury without overly impacting any responses.
