Youth Sports Injuries…just the facts.

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

I get ranting.  I have an opinion.  About everything.  But then again, it’s my blog and I’ll rant if I want to (she says in a sing songy voice). Youth sports injuries occur at about 7 million/year. Interesting number.  I can … Continue reading →
