She is an Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and wrote “The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future.” Read more about her here. Following this talk, we will have a short break before our Weekly Check-In at 11:30 am PT | 1:30 pm CT | 2:30 pm ET.
