Fall high school athletes try new sports: 'I'm not that good. It's just having fun'

As a standout football player and wrestler at Central Valley Academy, Andy Klosner has enjoyed his share of athletic glory.
This fall, he added one he never would have expected to that list.
Klosner scored a goal off a penalty kick for CVA. While that feat alone might seem rather mundane, it has to be evaluated in the context of his soccer experience before this fall.

Tennessee high school athletic association to vote on allowing religious headgear
Nashville Tennessean
The Tennessee high school athletic association is in the beginning process of potentially changing a rule that would allow athletes to wear headgear for religious purposes without seeking permission from its office.

Triathlete
When Jordan D. Metzl, MD, and his colleagues at the HSS Sports Medicine Institute published their guidelines to returning to activity after recovering from COVID-19 in August, he never imagined the response he’d get from patients. After working with athletes in their own practices, the HSS team knew it was important to create a framework for recreational athletes who had mild to moderate coronavirus, to understand how to best return to activity safely.
