This week on The Sports Mom Playbook Podcast, we’re sitting down with orthopedic physician assistant Julio Hernandez, whose journey from baseball injury to professional sports medicine is a masterclass in purpose, perseverance, and prevention.

In this powerful conversation, Julio shares the inside scoop on what it’s really like working with elite MLB athletes, the rise of youth sports injuries (especially elbow and shoulder pain in young pitchers), and the real talk every sports parent needs to hear. From pitch count myths and recovery timelines to the mental pressure kids face in competitive sports, this episode is packed with practical insights, heartfelt stories, and laughter along the way.

Whether you’re navigating your child’s first tournament or just want to understand how to support them in a healthy, sustainable way, this episode is for YOU, mama.  We talk coffee shoutout to Nona Roasting, catching as a position, physical therapy realities, and how parents can say “no” to overuse culture without guilt.
