Youth Sports & Safety Advocate and so Much More on Recovery Now with Kim Justus
from A Recovery Now · host Kim Justus
Kimberly Archie lead the safety crusade in youth sports and the push for cheer to be classified as a sport with science based research that set off a media blitz of injury stories in 2008 from People magazine to the Washington Post. Her tireless efforts and "never take no for an answer" resolve resulted in a Government Accountability Office investigation called by Congressional leaders into the youth sport safety crisis in America. She is an official research partner with the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research at the University of North Carolina, was a safety official for the National Collegiate Acrobatics & Tumbling Association, has testified numerous times at all levels of government on safety issues, organized numerous national safety events, pushed for stronger sport safety legislation on the national and state level, is a highly sought public speaker and independent source of sport safety information for news media, local government and sport parents. Her personal motivation is driven by the death of her son to CTE, and her daughters injury in Cheer. This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers. Front part of show is a featured guest. The second is Open Mic and some great Indy Music, sure to inspire!
