Description:What do players across such different sports such as Sandy Koufax, Tom Brady, and Tiger Woods have in common? Their injuries have shaped the world of sports and how sports medicine is approached. Then there are other athletes who have suffered serious illness or conflicts with drugs, and their stories have also helped change the operation of their respective games. Jonathan Gelber has compiled a list of the most impactful injuries and tragedies in Tiger Woods's Back and Tommy John’s Elbow: Injuries and Tragedies That Transformed Careers, Sports, and Society and the ripple effect they have had in how modern sports are played today.

Among the athletes featured in this book are: • Tommy John and how the surgery that came about in his name changed the game of baseball • Magic Johnson, and how his announcement about his HIV diagnosis impacted the NBA • Dale Earnhardt and how his devastating crash led to new rules and safety concerns for NASCAR • And many more! “My experience working with Skyhorse is always a positive collaboration.
