Weekly Update 1/20/17

Price Jones and Wakefield Thurmond

Weekly Update


This week we continued to grind on the website ans long as some new topics of subject. Wakefield is continuing to make strides in the right direction on the website. Also, with baseball season around the corner, Wakefield and I have been able to speak with more baseball players and their perspective of how dangerous arm injuries are. We found that in today's time, most youth baseball players don't really recognize or acknowledge the true danger arm injuries are. Which only gives us more incentive to work on this project. I also sat down with my dad who is a PA and specializes in orthopedics. We talked about the likelihood of coming back from an energy like that and being as good as you were and 99% of the time the answer is that you wont be. Also, we watched a video of a tommy John surgery and went through the steps. Well thats all we have for you this week. Thanks for reading.
