Former NFL and MLB players Greg Olsen and Jeff Francoeur share a hard truth about youth sports—and why Dr. Andrews’ approach is part of the solution.
The reality they highlight is tough – kids today are specializing earlier, throwing more, and putting more stress on their bodies than ever before. We’re now seeing procedures like Tommy John surgery, once reserved for elite athletes, being performed on players as young as 12 years old.
That’s not a baseball problem. That’s a development problem.
At Andrews Athlete, we believe the solution is better education, smarter training, and a more complete approach to athlete development, supporting not just performance, but long-term health.
Parents. Coaches. Programs. We all play a role in protecting the next generation of athletes.
