HELPING COACHES DO THE RIGHT THING
Dev Mishra, M.D. Founder, Sideline Sports Doc
Injuries in youth sports are bound to happen. About 5.5 million injuries require medical care for young athletes each year in the U.S.
The problem is that many coaches are not properly trained to make the right decision on the field. The result is that each year up to 2 million young athletes are sent back in to play before they are ready, turning a mild injury into something that can result in weeks or months of lost playing time.
In my own sports medicine practice I’m likely to see one injury each week that could have been much less severe if the athlete did not prematurely return to play.
I created Sideline Sports Doc as a resource for coaches and parents, so they can help their young athletes avoid unnecessary injury.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
It’s the second half of a soccer game that your team has well in hand. One of your substitutes accidentally collides with a member of the opposing team, and suffers a blow to the head. He appears a bit dazed, but springs back to his feet moments later. He usually doesn’t get much playing time and is pleading with you to let him continue playing… Should he be benched or allowed to continue playing? Discover what you need to know to make the right decision...
Why Take the Course?
Consistent with the Player Health and Safety pillar of the Players First philosophy, US Club Soccer requires completion of the 6-chapter online course by all registered staff members. Injury recognition is an important part of coaching education. Better recognition means healthier players who perform better on the field, and happier parents.
