The Athletic Scholarship Myth
Robert Berry
Why Year-Round Youth Sports are a Prescription for Failure
As a father of three high-performing athletes, Dr. Berry understands the pressure placed on children to play competitive sports. But as a surgeon who’s treated thousands of adolescent sports injuries (most of which are preventable), he knows all-too-well that this can come at a high cost to your child’s physical and mental health for years to come.
