A sports injury for any person can be devastating. In professional sports it can often mean putting a career on pause or - in the worst-case scenario - the end of the road. What happens when the injury happens to someone who is only beginning their sports-based efforts? How does a young athlete recuperate after an injury - not just physically, but mentally? Learn a great deal, directly from a brave young teen athlete who dealt with that and wants to help others who may be in his position find the help, support and forward movement just as he did. Join Dr. Mark Halstead, in a very special episode of The Pediatric Sports Medicine Podcast, where he welcomes graduating high schooler - Owen - Halstead - his own son, who shares an incredibly rich journey. | Listen to the Podcast Now!
