commitment. You don’t have to be compared to anyone else.

Preventing Injuries

Warm up, stretch adequately, and cool down. Learn the proper techniques for your sport. Use the correct safety and protective

equipment properly. Observe safety rules during sports and other

physical activities. Report any injury to your coach or teacher and

to your parents. Don’t return to the sport until a health care

professional says that you are well enough to play.
