Athlete Development Task Force
VISION
The ACRM Athlete Development & Sports Rehabilitation Networking Group will lead the way in reviewing, understanding, and promoting best practices in athlete development and the rehabilitation of sport-related injuries. It is believed that optimal athlete training and development will reduce the risk of sport-related injuries. Recovery from injury will be facilitated by evidence-based practices that are informed by a biopsychosocial model.
MEET WITH US
The Athlete Development Task Force is looking towards the New Year and we are sending out a Doodle poll with proposed dates and times for the first meeting of 2022.
We would love to have you join the activities of this task force. You can do so by responding to the poll by Monday, 20 December with your best dates and times to meet.
