Miscellaneous
Sharon Frank is a Gymnastics Outreach Athletic Trainer, B.S. and M.S. in Athletic Training, BOC Certified since 2012. She specializes in the sport of gymnastics and is based out of Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sharon and I spend the majority of the episode discussing what she sees in the world of gymnastics injuries and the healing, treating, and prevention of some of the more common injuries. We discuss the importance of nutrition, icing, and rehab as well as why gymnastics can be the “perfect” storm environment to create injuries especially during critical growing years. A MUST episode specifically for gymnastics coaches as well as parents!
