Dr. Karl Erickson

A new project led by Burelle and Erickson, and conducted in partnership with Peterborough Rugby Club, is exploring how players, coaches and families can be better supported when introducing or reintroducing contact in rugby. The work focuses on three areas: youth athletes learning contact rugby for the first time; participants in mixed-ability programs; and adults returning to contact rugby later in life.
