Dr. David Janda, presents a sincere telling of
his eye-opening experiences in educating the public about the prevention of
sports-related injuries. His journey began years ago on the softball fields of
Ann Arbor, Michigan, while leading a study that produced startling results in
the reduction of injuries. A few ears later, his lifetime commitment to injury
prevention was strengthened when Dr. Janda heard a voice telling him to continue
his research while his young daughter lay extremely ill in the hospital. From
that day, Dr. Janda has emphasized the critical need for the development of
preventive techniques and equipment by battling large insurance companies,
testifying before the United States Congress, and establishing The Institute for
Preventative Sports Medicine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, among many other
achievements.

BOOK REVIEWS ON
"The Awakening of a
Surgeon"
With The Awakening of a Surgeon, Dave
Janda, a pioneer in the once arcane world of sports injury medicine, blows open
the doors on a subject that should be of vital concern to parents and educators
- and, for that matter, politicians - everywhere. Part touching memoir of a
surgeon's stubborn evolution to advocacy, part wake-up call to an establishment
that's somehow neglected to notice the major health crisis developing right in
our own backyards, ball fields and gymnasiums, this important book should be
mandatory reading for any parent sending their child out the door to play- or
even thinking about it."
- James Dodson Author, Final Rounds, A Golfer's Life and Faithful Travelers
"Awakening of a Surgeon is a great
book about making sports safer for your kids. It is also a book about
inspiration and empowerment for individuals and their communities, and it has
my complete support both as an Olympic gold medallist and as a
parent."
-Bonnie Blair
"It gives us great pleasure to recommend The Awakening of
a Surgeon, not only as an inspirational story about one man's quest for
injury prevention, but as a mechanism for communities to come together and
create a safer and healthier environment for children and adults. We fully
support Save Janda in his continued journey and quest to bring safety to all
sports."
