An international leader in tennis medicine, Dr. Neeru Jayanthi leads Emory University's Tennis Medicine program, serves as the President of the International Society for Tennis Medicine and Science, volunteers as an ATP physician, and is a medical advisor for the WTA Player Development Panel. Highly-regarded for his research on early sports specialized training and overuse injuries in youth athletes, Dr. Jayanthi joins Nick to discuss how youth sports culture has changed from free play to organized sport, why early specialization often leads only to short-term success, and the importance of letting a child’s passion for sport grow organically.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
