Any Given Monday: Raising an Injury-Free Athlete

James R. Andrews
3.1/5 ( ratings)
One of the most renowned sports surgeons in the country uses his extensive experience with athletes across all sports for the prevention and treatment of sports injuries--especially among young athletes.Every year, more than 3.5 million children under the age of fourteen require medical treatment for sports-related injuries. More than a fifth of traumatic brain injuries in children are a direct result of athletics. Now, Dr. James Andrews--a leading expert in sports medicine--offers this essential compendium of knowledge as a solution to curb these daunting statistics.

"Any Given Monday" is a guide for parents, coaches, athletes, and sports fans familiar with Dr. Andrews's work with some of the biggest names in sports--from Drew Brees and Jack Nicklaus, to both Manning brothers. Dr. Andrews's goal is that every athlete--and those involved in an athlete's life--take positive steps towards safety by preventing the injuries that can be prevented, and properly treating the ones that can't. Prescriptive and invaluable, this book is a tool for both maximizing talent and protecting the body for a lifetime of physical activity and health. It also emphasizes and promotes the importance of the American Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Society's "STOP Program" to prevent injuries in youth sports.
