As a consultant physiotherapist, I see many injured athletes and almost every one of them tells a story that could have turned out differently, and we know the only guaranteed cure is prevention. This is most poignantly apparent when treating up-and-coming, talented young sports people with serious injury. Podium’s excellence and focus on grassroots and youth sport is much-needed and timely. There is much to discover, a wealth of existing evidence to implement, and so much injury to prevent. It is my honour to bring my research, clinical and educational experience to bear in the mission to create a world with more sport and less injury.
