73. Ask the Experts: Sports Medicine ft. Dr. Josh Gatz

 “Will you let your kids play football or hockey if they want to someday?”
Sports is a common place for kids to get injured.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with a pediatrician who is a Sports Medicine specialist, Dr. Josh Gatz. We discuss ways that parents can encourage their kids in athletic endeavors, but help them be safe and avoid injury. 

This isn’t always 100% preventable, but there are some useful tips that Dr. Gatz shares to help parents. 

We discussed the benefits of an active lifestyle and the social benefits of team sports. How rotating sports can reduce risk for overuse injuries and whether parents should completely avoid sports with high risk for concussion. 

This was a great conversation that you won’t want to miss!!
