Youth sports are bigger, faster, and more competitive than ever, and so are the injuries. In this episode of ChiroCast, Dr. Stephanie Brown sits down with chiropractor, author, and educator Dr. Tim Maggs, founder of CPOYA® (Concerned Parents of Young Athletes), to unpack why so many young athletes are getting hurt and how a proactive, biomechanical approach can change that trajectory.

Dr. Maggs shares insights from decades of experience in professional and youth sports, explaining why traditional sports physicals often miss the real risk factors, how growth-related imbalances and abnormal loading contribute to injury, and why waiting for pain is too late. The conversation explores prevention-first care, including standing imaging, structural assessments, and the role chiropractors can play in protecting young athletes long before symptoms appear.

Whether you’re a chiropractor, parent, or coach, this episode offers a powerful perspective on shifting from reactive injury care to long-term protection, helping kids stay healthier, perform better, and build a stronger foundation for life.
