'STOP' the Pain

A national effort to prevent, recognize and treat the long-term consequences of sports-overuse and traumatic injuries in young athletes is quickly picking up steam. This month, STOP Sports Injuries (the acronym stands for "Sports Trauma and Overuse Prevention") has enlisted several new supporters, including the California Athletic Trainers' Association, Dixie Softball Inc. and the Youth Football Coaches Association.

Launched this spring by the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and a host of other professional medical organizations, STOP Sports Injuries aims to arm coaches, athletes, parents and other concerned individuals with accurate information and educational tools. "Our growing support will dramatically increase the campaign's ability to help keep youth athletes healthy, safe and out of the operating room," says James Andrews, a renowned sports surgeon who also is president of the AOSSM and co-chair of STOP Sports Injuries.
