We have combined the experience of sports surgeon Dr. Herring with the wisdom from Matt Bitsko, a PhD and licensed clinical psychologist, regarding ACL rehab and the psychology of returning to sport. Both clinicians give some great insights about how to design the process of rehab to improve outcomes, as well as drawing on personal experiences and how they have impacted their interactions with patients over the years!

We sat down with Dr. O and Sherma Francis, PA, from Ortho Virginia to chat about hip injuries, injury reduction strategies for youth athletes, how to develop a team-based approach in sports medicine, and how we can improve access to quality sports medicine care!

We are joined by local sports medicine surgeon Dr. Goodloe, who practices at VCU and takes care of multiple college teams and athletes of all ages. We covered youth baseball injuries, what's new with ACL surgery and rehab, and how we can take sports medicine into the future!

We get an update on how the 2024 professional golf season went for each player, what they are focused on as the 2025 season starts, how amateurs can learn from professional players, and how junior golfers can prepare for the transition to college golf!
