Seattle Post-Intelligencer sports writer Dan Raley followed basketball standout Brandon Roy form Seattle's Garfield High School to the University of Washington and then to the NBA. Roy was a role model who played hard, respected teh game, and was squeaky clean--no drugs, no alcohol, no tattoos, no trouble with the law, and he was a family man. Every mother loved him. He was a great player, too. Knee injuries, however, appeared to end Roy's short but amazing career with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2011. Yet, with the latest medical treatments and great resolve, Roy looked to make a stirring comeback with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In That's Gotta Hurt, the orthopaedist David Geier shows how sports medicine has had a greater impact on the sports we watch and play than any technique or concept in coaching or training. Injuries among professional and college athletes have forced orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to develop new surgeries, treatments, rehabilitation techniques, and prevention strategies. In response to these injuries, sports themselves have radically changed their rules, mandated new equipment, and adopted new procedures to protect their players. Parents now openly question the safety of these sports for their children and look for ways to prevent the injuries they see among the pros. The influence that sports medicine has had in effecting those changes and improving both the performance and the health of the athletes has been remarkable. Through the stories of a dozen athletes whose injuries and recovery advanced the field (including Joan Benoit, Michael Jordan, Brandi Chastain, and Tommy John), Dr. Geier explains how sports medicine makes sports safer for the pros, amateurs, student-athletes, and weekend warriors alike. That's Gotta Hurt is a fascinating and important book for all athletes, coaches, and sports fans.
