 No matter how fit we are. No matter what equipment we wear. No matter how cautious we try to be. No matter how skilled we become. No matter how lucky we get. Injuries can happen. But the more prepared we are, the smarter we play. The more we know about the causes of injuries, the more we can do to prevent them. Through this community's efforts and discoveries, risk prediction and risk reduction are attainable milestones. Less as the outcome of more, more research, more data, more new ideas, more great minds working together, establishing new protocols, advancing translational medicine, achieving real-world results. Welcome to the Injury Prevention Symposium.
