Another sports season starts , hundreds of thousands of athletes move around , new expectations are created , and this season is the one . The teams are very busy to get the players . The transferences are made and let ’ s enroll them . “ Is just to put the stamp and sign ” that ’ s one can hear around . “ And about the preparticipation medical exam ( PME )?”, the conscious and responsible doctors are asking , a bit stupefying and unbelieving . “ We ’ ll see that later ”, “ They are good !”, “ But do you doctor have any doubt about the player …?”. Yes , until any evidence to the contrary , “ I do not trust ”. It ’ s needed go sensitive all sports agents , athletes and parents for the importance of those “ 10 minutes ”. They must realize that is the first step for sports practice and , sometimes , a ( unique ) moment for the athlete to be with a doctor . We don ’ t need to scare the parents about sudden death , but we have to say that , although rare , sometimes it can occur . They must be aware that this medical exam can save lives , but also it can detect any changes that can interfere with sports , or if they are managed the sports performance can increase . The parents should give all relevant and not information to the doctor . He will know to select the relevant . By the way , all the athletes should have at least one EKG . The PME is not just an administrative act . It is a passport that allows to go on a journey safer . Parents ! Be aware . See if your kids have a valid passport . Basil Ribeiro , director
