Episode 8 - Kent Stembridge

This week on Sidelines & Sacrifices, Kelly and Craig sit down with Kent owner operator from Active Plus to talk about something every coach, parent, and volunteer fears. Injury on the sideline. With over 20 years of experience in rugby and sporting injuries, Kent shares clear, practical advice on those first few minutes after a player goes down. How do you know when it’s serious? When should a player stay off? What can you do? And just as importantly, what not to do? Kent helps us cut through the panic with calm, practical guidance that any grassroots coach or parent can act on. And this episode is part of a bigger goal to build a straightforward sideline injury response guide for grassroots sport. It's about confidence, common sense, and putting player welfare first.
