For parents
They want to keep playing.
You want to know they're doing the right things.
There's plenty of Osgood information online. What's hard is turning it into something a 12-year-old will actually stick with — in the right order, week after week, while still playing sport. I Beat Osgood puts Ethan's eight-week approach in one structured place and helps them stay on track without you standing over them. It works best alongside advice from a health professional who knows your child.
01
Ethan's video demonstrations
Every exercise shown by Ethan, so you're not guessing whether it's being done right.
02
A clear eight-week structure
Seven stages in order, so your athlete always knows what today looks like.
03
Green Zone / Red Zone
A 0–10 knee check at breakfast, then before and after the routine. 4 or more means no Workout that day — and tell an adult.
04
Sport & recovery tracking
See how much training is happening, and why some days are recovery days.
05
Fits around their sport
Workouts are planned around training and games — a Workout can still go ahead on a light training day.
06
Works alongside professional advice
The program supports — never replaces — advice from your GP, physio or sports doctor.
The Parent Guide
Built in.
Not bolted on.
Plain-English guidance for parents, alongside your athlete's program. The program is based on Ethan's own experience and the physiotherapy guidance he received. It hasn't been independently reviewed — please check with your own health professional before starting.
- 01
Before you start
Have a GP, physio or sports doctor confirm the knee pain is Osgood-Schlatter and that the activities suit your child. Ideally, share the program with them. If the pain is severe, unusual or getting worse, see them again before continuing.
- 02
Green Zone, Red Zone
Your athlete rates their knee 0–10 at breakfast, then before and after their routine. 0–3 is the Green Zone. 4 or more is the Red Zone: no Workout that day, they tell you, and the Daily Routine is done gently — stopping anything that makes it worse.
- 03
Sport, Workouts and recovery days
Up to three Workouts a week, fitted around your child's training and games — not on full training or game days, and 48 hours after a Workout, full training session or game. Light training is fine and doesn't start the 48 hours. Recovery days are part of the plan, never “missed”.
- 04
Week 7 isn't a finish line
Ethan played his first full basketball and cricket games in Week 7. For every other athlete, a return to full games should be decided individually with appropriate professional guidance.

Why a program?
You're not buying one exercise.
There are useful Osgood videos online. What's missing is everything around them: what to do first, what comes next, how sport fits in, when to rest and whether it's actually happening. That's what I Beat Osgood organises.

What is
Osgood-Schlatter?
Osgood-Schlatter is a common cause of knee pain in active, growing kids — especially athletes who run, jump and change direction a lot. It affects the spot just below the kneecap, where the tendon from the kneecap attaches to the top of the shin bone.
It tends to show up during growth spurts, which is why so many 10–15-year-old athletes deal with it.
Potential signs can include
- Pain or tenderness around the area just below the kneecap
- A noticeable bump below the knee
- Discomfort with running, jumping, kneeling or squatting
- Symptoms that become more noticeable around sport
A website can't diagnose knee pain. Have a GP, physio or sports doctor confirm the diagnosis before starting the program.

Questions,
answered.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
Yes. I Beat Osgood is designed for young athletes who have been diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter, and it can't diagnose knee pain. Before starting, have a GP, physiotherapist or sports doctor confirm the diagnosis and advise whether the activities are suitable for your child. If symptoms are significant, unusual or getting worse, see them again before continuing.
Will my child be back playing games in eight weeks?
We can't promise that, and we won't. Ethan played a modified cricket match in Week 4 and his first full basketball and cricket games in Week 7 of his own journey, but that was Ethan's experience. Every athlete's recovery is different. Reaching Week 7 doesn't clear an athlete to play games — return-to-sport decisions need individual assessment and appropriate professional guidance.
Does my child have to stop playing sport?
Ethan didn't stop all activity. In Weeks 1–2 he kept his sport light and modified — dribbling, shooting and batting practice, no full games — and built up gradually from there. The program tracks sport alongside the routine, and separate Workouts are skipped on full training or game days. Every athlete is different, so talk to a health professional about what's right for your child.
What are the Green Zone and Red Zone?
Before and after each day, the athlete rates their knee from 0–10. 0–3 is the Green Zone. 4–10 is the Red Zone: skip that day's Workout and tell a parent or supervising adult. The Daily Routine can still be done gently, stopping any exercise that makes the knee worse — that's what Ethan did on his harder days. This reflects Ethan's pain-monitoring approach. A Green Zone score is not medical clearance to exercise or progress.
What if symptoms increase?
In the Red Zone (4 or more), skip the Workout and tell a parent, and stop any exercise that makes the knee worse. If pain is persistent, getting worse, unusual or worrying you, seek advice from a GP, physiotherapist or sports doctor. The app records how the knee feels, but it never makes medical decisions.
Can parents track progress?
Yes — on your athlete's device. Open Parent View from their Progress screen. It shows the current week and stage, routines and Workouts completed, sport sessions, knee checks and any Red Zone days. It shows what's been logged — it doesn't draw medical conclusions. Progress is saved on the device your athlete uses, so for now it won't show up on a different phone.
Can we use it on paper?
Yes. Inside the program there's a printable A4 guide with every exercise, the left-and-right photos and a weekly tracker for knee scores, sport and notes. Print it at home or save it as a PDF — open the Program tab and choose Printable guide. Ethan's videos stay in the app.
Is this medical treatment?
No. I Beat Osgood shares Ethan's experience with general exercise information. It doesn't diagnose, cure or treat Osgood-Schlatter, and it isn't a substitute for advice from a health professional.
