The transition from adolescent to adult care can often be a series of challenging obstacles for patients, families, and providers. This time of adjustment can be both overwhelming and difficult, especially for patients with congenital health conditions. Moving from a parent supervised visit to an independent patient model takes time and often takes a lot of discussion. In this episode, we are going unpack and inform primary care providers on how they can play a pivotal role in the transition of care.

Today, we are going to be discussing both the blessings and the challenging implications dairy can have on a child's health.

Once upon a time, American youth played pick-up games in the street and tried out for their first organized school sport teams as they entered middle and high school. And occasionally, a local hometown hero went on to play at the collegiate level … and even more rare, someone made it to the pros. Fueled by families paying big money for private club teams, today's youth sports have gone pro. According to TIME Magazine, kids' sports make up a more than $15 billion industry. Children as young as five attend tryouts, are ranked in their discipline and shuttled around the country to play with the best. We are talking about the impact of sport specialization on young athletes.

Joining us to talk through this important topic is my colleague, Dr. Greg Walker. Greg is part of our Sports Medicine and Orthopedics Institute teams, and he is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
