Main topic
Sequence of prevention model
Key takeaway
Four-step ‘sequence of prevention’—describe, understand, prevent, re-evaluate—became the blueprint for sports injury research.
Why it matters
Gives clinicians a mental checklist for turning sideline stats into actual prevention plans instead of vibes.
My take
Looks old-school on the PDF, but if your audit spreadsheet ignores exposure and severity, you’re working in the dark, fight me.
