In the world of sports, few conversations spark more debate than an athlete choosing to compete while injured. When Lindsey Vonn stepped onto the Olympic stage at the 2026 Winter Olympics shortly after tearing her ACL, the sports world had opinions.
I recently returned from Milan after spending a week at the Winter Olympics. Watching the best athletes in the world compete is always inspiring, but one thing stood out in a major way.
Athletes and parents of young athletes all want the same outcome: staying healthy, confident, and on the field for the entire season. At Cohen Health and Performance, our sports physical therapy team works with athletes every day who are trying to balance school, practices, games, and multiple teams, all while avoiding injury.
Running through the winter months can be a challenge, especially when cold temperatures, ice, and wind threaten to derail your training. But with the right strategy, runners can stay consistent, healthy, and injury-free all season long.
