Safe Sports Social Program Book 2022
The need for the Safe Sports Network program hit home for one of our founders one August day more than 20 years ago. He was standing next to an athletic-looking young man outside a fence watching Manchester Central High School's football tryouts. He asked the young man why he wasn’t out there. The response to that question ("Because my family can't afford the physical.") planted the seed that has become the Safe Sports Network. Since then... Our athletic trainers have evaluated more than 100,000 athletic injuries in high schools while only referring approximately 20% to a doctor or emergency room. This translates to a significant savings of healthcare dollars for the southern NH communities we serve. More than 10,000 injuries have been evaluated in our free injury drop-in clinic. We have performed approximately 7,500 free sports physicals. Safe Sports Network has provided more than 100,000 hours of onsite medical coverage. The vast majority of these hours have been donated to our schools. The Safe Sports Network offers free evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for student-athletes of Greater Manchester, NH. Services include outreach to nine local high schools, injury drop-in clinics, and coach and community education. The staff is comprised of athletic trainers who work under the direction of Jim Vailas, MD who has been the Safe Sports Network Medical Director since its inception. Coordinating the daily operations of Safe Sports is Program Director, Sandy Snow, MS, ATC.

<strong>2022</strong> <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> Star of the Year<br />
The <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> Star of the<br />
Year Award is given to a<br />
person who through words<br />
and actions demonstrates<br />
their commitment to<br />
ensuring youth sports safety.<br />
Over 35 years ago, Corflex Global<br />
was founded on the mission of<br />
helping people resume their everyday activities; whether returning to work, getting<br />
back into sports, or living a more active life.<br />
As a manufacturer of high-quality orthopedic/sports medicine products, participating<br />
in NHMI’s <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Program</strong> has been a perfect fit! In partnership with <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong>,<br />
Corflex Global has donated orthopedic products that help young athletes get back in<br />
the game. Injury prevention and detection plays an important role in the safety and<br />
performance of athletes.<br />
For many years, the Corflex Global team has supported <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> in many ways,<br />
including volunteering with baseline concussion testing, developing a new strategic<br />
plan and much more! Corflex Global has been an important sponsor of the <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong><br />
Student Ambassador program. They even welcomed student ambassadors to their<br />
facility for a firsthand view of the manufacturing process of their products.<br />
“We are excited for the future and to continue supporting<br />
<strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> in their work that provides a template for<br />
students and athletes to learn about teamwork,<br />
leadership, work ethic and integrity.”<br />
~ The Corflex Global Team<br />

Donors Made a Difference for Tyler<br />
Passion, Perseverance and a Little Help from His Friends....YOU!<br />
Tyler’s basketball season came to an abrupt halt<br />
with a sharp pain and pop in his knee while leaping<br />
for a rebound. He was devastated when he learned<br />
he had sprained his ACL. Tyler was determined to<br />
return to basketball before season’s end. With hard<br />
work, focus, and expert care from his <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong><br />
Athletic Trainer, Tyler returned in time to lead his<br />
team into the post-season.<br />
Tyler, also a talented track runner, re-injured his<br />
knee at the start of his spring season. He once<br />
again found himself faced with the challenge to<br />
persevere to return to competition. He set his focus<br />
on returning and qualifying for the NH State Meet.<br />
Tyler did return to the track. He not only qualified<br />
for the State meet, but crushed his sub-5-minute<br />
mile goal!<br />
Tyler: Two parts passion and perseverance. One<br />
part support from <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> Donors. Every<br />
day a tough kid has a tough break. You make a<br />
difference by supporting their fight to overcome<br />
adversity. Thank you!<br />
You made this possible as a <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> donor. Your<br />
support meant Tyler’s return was professionally<br />
supervised and safer. You make a difference for kids<br />
like Tyler every day. Thank you!<br />

the value of sports for young people, and the worth of investing<br />
in keeping our kids safe and well-cared for while playing the<br />
sports that help them to become their best selves, continues to<br />
underpin all of our work. His legacy lives on in the impact and<br />
support that each student athlete receives through <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Sports</strong>.<br />
Henry was incredibly generous with his time and financial<br />
support, reflected by his passion for our Cause. He will be<br />
deeply missed and fondly remembered.<br />
