All told, CIRP estimates that 1.3 million high school athletes were injured in the 2009-2010 school year. In fact, high school football players have twice as many serious, season-ending injuries as college players, even though college players are injured more frequently. And the estimates are even higher for kids under age 14: about 3.5 million sustained injuries, according to Safe Kids USA. The reason middle school athletes are so vulnerable is that students are developing at different rates. "You could have a small kid against a kid who is much bigger and more physically mature, and that imbalance in size and speed can result in a lot of harm," explains Dr. Halstead.

I have many memories of my dad and his Submariner. I link remember this watch on his wrist when we were traveling. He traveled a lot given what he did for a living – editing a travel and lifestyle magazine. My memories are from the road and I got to accompany him to places like link Milan or somewhere as exotic as South Africa or Tanzania. When link we traveled for whatever reason, the watch really stuck with me more. He would always wear it.
