P3 Anxieties

I am wiring my paper on overuse injuries and their abundance in youth athletics. I am going to go in depth about why the increase industry of youth sports in America has majorly contributed to more serious overuse injuries in kids 10-18 years old. My plan is to start with my background knowledge and just build that into my thesis and research. My anxieties about writing this are not being able to find the exact research I need to connect my thesis to my argument. I am concerned that I have not yet found any specific articles or books that correlate the growth in competitiveness in youth athletics to reason why youth athletes are at a higher risk for these long term overuse. They are at high risk for overuse injuries because they are not fully developed. I feel good about my ability to write this paper in a timely manner and finish on time. I am just worried I may have to slightly tweak my thesis so my research properly supports my argument. I am also worried I may go over the word cap for this paper. Whenever I assignments such as this I just get everything out on the page and it ends up ending being way too much. So I will definitely need to go back and revise/ cut my paper down. Overall I am confident in my abilities to write a good argument with good research to support it.
