In this episode of Fight Back, Adriana Contreras joins us to discuss the health and safety of student-athletes in high school and collegiate sports. Adriana is a voluntary Assistant Coach on the swim team at UC Davis, a Senior Group Coach for the DART swimming team, a former Assistant Swimming Coach at the University of the Pacific, Head Swimming Coach at St. Francis High School, and a certified professional and collegiate Division I soccer referee.

Adriana talks about how parents should communicate with their children’s coaches and doctors to create a healthy sporting experience, the mental health challenges brought on by high-pressure athletics—including the lessons learned from Simone Biles’ Olympic experiences—what student-athletes should know about the rules and regulations around performance-enhancing drugs, and much more.

Episode 37 is a Midnight Madness show starting just before the clock strikes midnight.  

We get right in it talking about Little League baseball and the controversial left-handed pitcher who was compared to Chris Sale. We're keeping his name out of this because it has nothing to do with him and everything to do with social media glorifying horrific mechanics and then of course not being able to back it up.  

A good rule of thumb for baseball is never to emulate a pitcher who has been injured throwing a baseball. Injuries are not good and certainly, we do not want to teach habits that cause catastrophic injury.
