From the field, scoring, and rules, to the punching, kicking, and tackling required to play—it’s a crash course in the game of footy. Melissa breaks down the demands of the sport, the common injuries, and key things for clinicians to keep in mind when working with Australian football athletes. ------------------------------ RESOURCES More on the Prep2Play injury prevention program, including player, coach and clinician resources: https://www.play.afl/coach/resources/prep-to-play/ Intro to footy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_SqfNNfhmM&authuser=0 Tayla Harris and the landmark AFLW photo: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-21/tayla-harris-aflw-photo-could-be-landmark-moment-in-australia/10921892
