If you’ve ever worked with a pediatric sports population, you’ve probably noticed there are a few differences between treating a pre-teen and an adult. For example, what about their goals and motivation? What is physiologically different with this population? How do we master the art of communicating with the patient, their parents, and even their coaches.
