As kids return to play, it's important to keep them on the field or court as opposed to the sidelines with injuries or even worse, the doctor's office. Dr. James Paci, MD is the Director of Orthopedic Surgery for Suffolk County on Long Island, New York, and he has seen a spike of injuries as kids come back from long layoffs due to the pandemic. As part of Steel Sports' Strong as Steel Safety Month, Dr. Paci joins a special edition of the podcast as he shares his tips on coming back to play safely, best practices for avoiding injuries, why overuse and fatigue is a recipe for disaster, his thoughts on MLB and USA Baseball's Pitch Smart guidelines and much more.
