A sports physical isn’t about passing or failing. Instead, it’s about managing your child’s health. If the healthcare provider identifies an issue that could make sports unsafe for your child, they will likely include follow-up action. 👉 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥? If your child has a health condition that impacts their performance or makes them more susceptible to injury, that could hurt them more in the long run.
