Description

In this episode, pediatric orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeff Shilt joins us to break down what’s really happening when kids grow, get injured, or struggle in youth sports. We talk about overuse injuries, how to spot red flags, and why rest might not be the thing that helps your kid recover from an injury.


Dr. Shilt also shares what he’s learned from raising four kids with very different approaches to sports and how parents can create healthy patterns at home that build strength without burnout.


Whether your kid is tired, sore, or just not playing like themselves, this episode gives you a better way to understand what their body’s going through.
