Can confirm this was a great time. Glad to be part of such a thoughtful panel with a group so focused on sport safety and youth development! I spoke on the benefits of physical literacy and sport sampling. Full recording available here: vimeo.com/1022587222?share=c…
It was honor to be a panelist among many other great clinicians and researchers! Today I was able to speak on some of the issues with the intersection of sport specialization and low socioeconomic status. Thank you NATA for the opportunity to share my research findings! #NATA

The importance of #communication in science and #research 👌🏻
Every time we see this visually we are reminded about the importance of #Storytelling. We believe there is a huge opportunity to better leverage storytelling to support change initiatives.
