Everything you always wanted to know about kids and sports!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sports Medicine for Parents and Coaches (Paperback)
The author wrote this book in layman's terms. I didn't have to go to a medical dictionary on every page!! I appreciated the way the author broke down the medical problems by sport. I found the tips to parents a good reminder to me about putting sports in the proper perspective.

A must for any parent with active children.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sports Medicine for Parents & Coaches (Hardcover)
Dr. Boyle does a great job of providing practical guidance for children's sports injuries. Diagrams show you what happened, and text tells you how to treat it. Poked eyes, twisted ankles and broken bones are all discussed in a way that helps adults do the right thing to treat and prevent further injury. I'm keeping mine on the shelf.
