Our Inception
Co-founder and sidelined athlete, Cade Pinalto, shares his story and why he started Sidelined.
“Having to break bad news is never easy but understanding your athlete is vital to having a successful conversation. Allowing an alternative to competing personally gives the athlete another way to cope and move forward. Having Sidelined USA's information to give is helpful in continuing that conversation and progression.”
-Dr. aneesh garg, sidelined usa medical advisory board member, orthopedic surgeon
