Return to Sport Decision-Making

Return to Sport Decision-Making involves assessing whether an athlete can safely return to their sport after an injury or illness. This process considers physical readiness—like strength and flexibility—and psychological readiness, ensuring the athlete feels confident and motivated. It often includes input from coaches, medical professionals, and the athlete themselves. The goal is to prevent re-injury and ensure that the athlete can perform at their best while safeguarding their long-term health. Ultimately, it's about balancing risk and readiness to support a safe return to their sport.
