CSUSM Sports Medicine

Welcome back Student Interns! Getting ready for all of the Student Athletes and the Fall sports to begin.

The athletes speaking out about how we have treated injuries, practiced and competed in the past, the damage that management and thinking has caused, and where ...we should be as coaches, ATs, Physicians, etc. is more influential than anything we see. Research and the documentation of injuries over the years has been crucial but the athlete that went through some of the stupid stuff we have done in the past is definitively impactful. We all need to evaluate how we treat and manage these injuries, the protocols we follow, and whether we are up-to-date. It is so important that we keep the athlete and their health now and in the future the #1 focus. Coaches and Administrators have to come to this conclusion as well. We MUST think and manage our athletes past the game or competition being played. Their very lives depend on us to do so. See more
