"Please don't tell my parents"
Robin Bousquet, founder and owner of Inspire Physical Therapy in Nike's hometown (Beaverton, OR), has heard this request from far too many youth athletes.
Her answer every single time?
"Absolutely not. We're talking with your parents because you need a team of grown ups working together to get you healthy."
