𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀, 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲 🇬🇷⚽ A great few days in Athens, Greece at ISOKINETIC 2026, representing the Amsterdam UMC team across multiple sessions. On Saturday, Gino Kerkhoffs delivered a keynote lecture titled “𝗥𝗧𝗣 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝘆.” Sunday was packed:  • Vincent Gouttebarge chaired the session “Back to performance after cartilage injuries and the nightmare of recurrent and compensatory injuries.”  • Evert Verhagen presented “From research to real-world impact: the UEFA approach” and “Return to performance after ACL injury: lessons from UEFA's experience.” He also chaired “Women’s Football: Next Level.”  • Sharaisha Bilgoe presented “Unmasking mental health symptoms in female professional football players.” Her key message was clear: as the game grows, so must our attention to the people behind the performance. A strong call for better awareness, support, and care in women’s football. On Monday, Vincent Gouttebarge continued with “Preseason screening: beyond the current gold standard.” Proud to see such impactful contributions spanning injury prevention, performance, and mental health in football. #ISOKINETIC2026 #SportsMedicine #FootballMedicine #InjuryPrevention #MentalHealth #WomensFootball #Athens
