6:55 Difference Between Return To Play and Return To Performance
A few weeks ago, this topic popped into my head after a frustrating conversation.
By no fault of their own, a parent looked at me and said, “Thanks for working with him but the doctor cleared him, so he will be playing this weekend.”
I was ready to blow a gasket.
Before this, I spent ample time educating. I discussed the importance of a gradual re-entry to sport and the likelihood of re-injury. I discussed muscle capacity & loads and how returning to play at 100% too soon could be detrimental. The unfortunate part... my words went right out the window as soon as another provider said, "you can play again."
Shortly after this athlete returned to play, they returned to the sidelines. It was a major bummer, especially because I knew he/she was not ready.
The decision-making process when allowing an athlete to return to sport is multifactorial. So, here are five important things that are often forgotten during the process.
