Injuries are on the rise in youth sports, from ACL tears to concussions, and parents are left trying to balance big dreams with long-term health. In this episode, Jeff, Britt, and Brad sit down with Dr. Michael Hatrak, a biomechanics expert and injury consultant with decades of experience working alongside six NFL teams and numerous professional athletes.

Dr. Hatrak shares practical insights on injury prevention, pain management, and performance optimization, along with stories from his work with athletes like Terrell Owens, Darius Slay, and Olympic champion Gail Devers. He also discusses his role in preparing athletes for major stages such as the NFL Combine, where he helps draft prospects make key biomechanical adjustments to elevate performance.

Through his practice, Synergy Release Sports, with two locations in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Hatrak works with youth, collegiate, and professional athletes to help them stay healthy and reach their full potential.
