CPOYA® Introduction – A Better Way to Protect Young Athletes
The CPOYA® Podcast

8m 59s
Welcome to the Concerned Parents of Young Athletes® (CPOYA®) Program.
In this introduction, Dr. Tim Maggs explains why CPOYA® was created, how youth sports have changed over the last 20 years, and why today’s middle school and high school athletes are not receiving the preventive care they need.
As youth sports participation has exploded, injury rates have climbed—but sports medicine has remained largely reactive, focusing on treatment after injury instead of prevention. CPOYA® was developed to change that.
Dr. Maggs introduces key concepts including:
• Why every child is born structurally imbalanced
• What a Structural Fingerprint® is and why it matters
• How hidden biomechanical faults lead to repeated injuries
• Why waiting until a child is hurt creates lifetime consequences
• The meaning of Actuary Alex and the true long-term cost of injuries
The Concerned Parents of Young Athletes® Program is a comprehensive, prevention-based system designed to help families:
• Identify structural imbalances early
• Reduce injury risk
• Keep kids healthy, active, and in the game longer
This video sets the foundation for the CPOYA® Podcast series and explains why structure-based injury prevention is essential for today’s young athletes.
📌 Recommended for parents of middle school and high school athletes, coaches, and healthcare professionals.
