From the author: Sports medicine, as a discipline, can be traced back to primitive man. The use of exercise as a prerequisite for conditioning and proper treatment of injuries was first documented in early Greek civilization with the establishment of the Olympics. Today, sports by their very nature invite injury. In 2000, 2.5 million students participated in varsity sports with 750,000 injuries recorded. These numbers do not account for sports activities outside school or leisure activities. Another area of potential injury is physical education class. These classes are large with limited supervision and encompass students of varying age and abilities. Nurses do not have an extensive knowledge of injury prevention or assessment in their basic nursing education. School nurses, as a subspecialty within nursing, are expected to keep up with the requirements of the adolescent and pediatric populations as well basic nursing skills. Due to work schedules and limited resources for continuing education, school nurses are not afforded much time or benefits to attend classes that would teach them skills needed to assess athletic-type injuries. School nurses need printed resources specific to their setting to help fill this void. Recognizing this need, Sports Medicine Techniques for the School-Based Nurse is a manual in process that will help fill this void. Being developed specifically for school nurses, the manual will provide information on prevention, evaluation, and management of athletic-type injuries commonly seen in the school nurse's office.

Product Description
One point can separate winners from losers. From the miracle victory over Mogadore in the Ohio Division V State Semifinals to the heartbreaking loss against Newark Catholic in the Ohio Division V State Championship Game, the 1986 Ayersville Pilot High School football team was on the giving and receiving end of this slimmest of margins, one point. The virtually unknown Ayersville team came out of nowhere to post a 10-0 regular season record and make the playoffs for the first time in school history. The entire community followed along as they made their way to the pinnacle of high school football, The State Championships.

A play-by-play account of the final regular season game against an undefeated Edgerton team and the additional four playoff games will put the reader right in the middle of the action. Witness the exciting miracle victory over Mogadore, and the turning events of the State Championship game played at The Ohio State University's Horseshoe Stadium. In all of the different sporting events, there is nothing worse than a loss by the slimmest of margins. In the true competitive nature of athletics, it will always be the Point of Sorrow. ...
