Professor James Calder joins Dr. Hilary to share what it takes to repair and prepare elite athletes for action.

They talk about the high-stakes world of sports surgery, the pressure of operating on stars like Neymar, and the importance of rehabilitation over the surgery itself. Professor Calder also opens up about leading the UK’s sports concussion committee, his humanitarian work in disaster zones, his role in reopening elite sports during the pandemic, and the brutal reality of trekking the Negev Desert by camel — all while staying physically and mentally fit.
