The one-day symposium will feature lectures from sports medicine physicians on topics such as injury prevention, biomechanics, training, surgical techniques, rehabilitation and sport-specific conditions.
 

Keynote speakers include Louisville’s own Paul Hornung, former Green Bay Packer and 1956 Heisman Trophy winner known as “The Golden Boy,” as well as Karl F. Schmitt, Jr., president and CEO of the Louisville Sports Commission.
