Dr. Mark Kovacs along with Dr. Brian Hainline (Chief Medical Officer, NCAA), Chris Snyder (Head of Coaching & Education at the US Olympic Committee, USOC) and Dr. John Parsons (Director, NCAA Sport Science Institute and moderator) presented at the 2015 National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) Annual Meeting on the topic of "The Continuum of Early Specialization, Lack of Periodization, and Overuse Injuries." Over 12,000 athletic trainers attended the 2015 meeting. The major focus was on changing the paradigm of youth sport focused on a pathway of early initiation to sport, with early diversification (multiple sports) moving into appropriate specialization later in an athlete’s career if the elite level is the focus.
