Prompt 9: Recognizing Significance

I found a story that hit on 10 points as to why sports medicine was important. This is significant to know because I feel like a lot of people might not accurately know all the work that a sports medicine professional does and how it can help the general population.

Sports medicine doctors help with decreasing the risk of youth obtaining a degenerative disease later on. They can assess concussions and decide if the athlete can return to play or not. They can improve athletic performance, they can help with developing a training program, and they can help to recover an athlete from injury. Sports medicine professionals can help prevent injuries and help players with medical conditions to be able to continue their sport in a safe manner.

The article states "The beauty of sports medicine is that it invites the expertise of doctors, surgeons, therapists, and homeopathic experts, alike. Furthermore, it personalizes its methods to the individual, instead of applying generalized treatments." Therefore, it can be that much more effective because the care that is received by the patient is specifically tailored for them. This treatment isn't just for elite athletes. The experise of a sports medicine professional can be beneficial to almost everyone.

  1. In your blog post, i learned a lot from the sports medicines, which can improve a lot from our performance in our lives. But in my personal perspective, I think you can divided your post to some paragraphs. I am sure it would be more clear and you can also add some vivid pictures here which allowed more readers understand them quickly.
