Example include - being there for rehab making sure he follows up on appointment and keeping track of his recovery (just like his Mom would do if he was home). Again the sports medicine staff have gone above and beyond my expectation coming from a small

    Playing sports can be very fun and entertaining, but there can also be risks that come along the way that detract from the enjoyment.
