We had a wonderful turnout for our Injury Prevention Workshop this weekend, specifically designed for baseball and softball athletes!

This year, we were honored to collaborate with Dr. Mark Grossman, who delivered an enlightening lecture to our participating athletes. Dr. Grossman is the Chief of Sports Medicine at NYU Langone Hospital, Long Island, and also serves as the head team physician for both LIU-Post and Adelphi University.

Our dedicated coaching and training team, led by Dr. Liz Powers, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, along with Jacob Carlock, FMS, ISSA CPT, and NFL Alumni, did an outstanding job once again in guiding our athletes. Throughout the event, each athlete received evaluations to identify those at a higher risk of injury, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and equipment. The data gathered will be shared with each athlete, offering invaluable insights for injury prevention and enhancing athletic performance.
