Today, we’re tackling early sport specialization—when kids focus on one sport too soon—and the risks that come with it.
Joining me are Dr. Hinton an orthopedic surgeon who treats these injuries every day, and Caitlin Kelley from USA Lacrosse, who’s helping shape safer, smarter youth sports.
Athletes who specialize early are up to twice as likely to suffer overuse injuries, yet less than 2% of college athletes ever go pro. The risks are real, and the payoff is rare.
Let’s dive into what’s really happening and how we can protect young athletes.
