For student-athletes, safety and successful injury recovery require a solid support system that bridges communication between athletic staff, students and families. This was certainly the case for Isaiah Edwards, a junior at East Forsyth High School, whose severe Achilles injury during spring football practice set him on a challenging recovery path.
