While a late-game interception or tie-breaking goal can get fans on their feet, nothing in sports shocks a crowd more than an injury.

We sat down with Florent Thézard, athletic therapist and wellness program leader here at Manitoba Blue Cross, to watch some of the most cringe-worthy sports injury clips we could find. From ankle rolls to powerlifting fails, we got answers from an expert on why these types of injuries occur and how they can be prevented in the future. Understanding body mechanics and injury prevention isn’t just for professional athletes, it’s for everyone – whether you are perfecting your golf swing or just moving through daily life.
