Q5: The Steadman Clinic/SPRI ATC’s work closely with local high schools. How do education and injury prevention work together for student athletes?

Education and injury prevention go hand in hand. We educate our athletes to better prepare themselves before competitions and practices as well as how to recover from them. It includes informing our athletes about appropriate off-season training, proper warm-ups, required equipment, correct cool downs, recovery protocols and good nutrition. All of this education is directed to keep our athletes as ready as possible so they can achieve their maximum performance and remain injury free.
