Does your child’s school or club have an athletic trainer who attends practices and games? We usually think of athletic trainers as the people who run on to the field or court to treat injured players. What we don’t see are the hours they spend with athletes rehabilitating their injuries so they can return to the game. They monitor and measure physical improvements, keep tabs on an athlete’s mental state, and communicate to coaches about when a player is ready to return to the game. Athletic trainers also work to prevent injuries; watch for more on that later this month. https://www.christinehawkinson.com/blog/specialization-injuries-mental-health monthly 0.5 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f97f5c93a9fb20a462701a6/fb4d4e86-528f-407f-a560-9b0d41b0e8e7/unsplash-image-b5R-EetfgwM.jpg Lessons from the Driveway - The hidden costs of early sports specialization - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f97f5c93a9fb20a462701a6/8630c7c8-997f-4cd4-be75-eec8acb554e8/Sport+Specialization.png Lessons from the Driveway - The hidden costs of early sports specialization - Make it stand out Consensus Definition of Sport Specialization in Youth Athletes Using a Delphi Approach, Dave Bell, et. al. https://www.christinehawkinson.com/blog/will-the-money-you-spend-on-your-childs-sport-pay-off monthly 0.5 2023-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f97f5c93a9fb20a462701a6/1675770725452-H9RVTRMRF4N6G7U14L3S/unsplash-image-MJSFNZ8BAXw.jpg Lessons from the Driveway - Will the money you spend on your child’s sport pay off? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.christinehawkinson.com/blog/how-to-prepare-your-child-for-collegiate-athletics monthly 0.5 2023-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f97f5c93a9fb20a462701a6/c9356fde-a4ac-435e-9007-6b3421240a53/pexels-cottonbro-studio-6470988.jpg Lessons from the Driveway - How to prepare your child for collegiate athletics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.christinehawkinson.com/blog/damn-i-could-have-written-that-book monthly 0.5 2023-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f97f5c93a9fb20a462701a6/b4ab6c92-7efd-4978-9a52-2f034399fd8a/Blog+Featured+Image+011423.jpg Lessons from the Driveway - Dang!
