What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book is a straightforward, secular, and factual exploration of logistics and careers in sports. It contains no sensitive topics. Any mention of player health would be in the context of the trainer's job (e.g., taping ankles) and is not graphic or alarming.
