ESPN West Palm interviewed Nicholas Sama, MD, orthopedic trauma surgeon at HSS Florida on air to discuss injury prevention.

"Injury prevention is certainly an a vital part of being an athlete regardless of what level you're participating at. In order to minimize injury, the athlete should understand the importance of having a well-rounded approach. That includes everything from stretching to the appropriate nutrition, giving yourself the appropriate amount of time to rest or recover. Another important part is the utilization of protective gear or equipment. Here in Florida in particular, we have to be cognizant of staying well hydrated as well,” explained Dr. Sama.
