 Don Kahnstock is with the Colorado School of Public Health and you're participating in this injury prevention seminar What's this all about from your perspective? And what are you trying to get out of this? Yeah? I'm so excited to be here today this great agenda of speakers. I'm actually an injury epidemiologist I'm not a clinician and it's so exciting to for me to see a group of clinicians and Great organization like the Steadman Clinic really focusing on prevention including primary prevention Everything that I've heard so far today is about how do we keep athletes healthy and safe and prevent them from being injured? So they can not only be more effective as athletes, but also just have better lives That's very very exciting. What are the key takeaways so far from what you've heard? Well so far, you know some of the points that we've heard before but it's great to hear clinicians that work with elite athletes reiterate Don't let a herd athlete play make sure that they recover before they play And another really important point is thinking about the younger athlete adolescent athlete compared to the adult athlete because so many of our elite level athletes are Becoming very specialized in their sport during that childhood adolescent period and understanding that they may need a little different approach to keep them safe The culture of sport is shifting, but for a long time. It's been Get in there and play on okay, so you hurt your knee a little bit get in there and play That's a big deal trying to change cultures Changing culture is huge, which is another reason why the topic of this seminar and this Meeting today is so important Thinking about prevention first and treatment second So you're right shifting culture is difficult particularly in sports My work is in high school athletes not not the elite level the general eight million high school students that play sports in the United States and Changing culture to make sure that health and safety is first and foremost in their minds their parents minds their coaches minds and general physicians physicians that aren't as knowledgeable and Aren't his high level as the great clinicians here at the Steadman Clinic. It takes work on Comstock. Thank you very much And good luck with this. It's very important to every athlete Particularly those that are going on to elite levels and well, I should say those who just play recreationally as well You
