Your video must include:

• Sports equipment or vivid drawings or google images of equipment needed for that particular sport.
• At least 5 major medical injuries that are associated with the sport you are discussing (you will need to do research online to find the actual medical names). Explain what these are and the long term and short damages it can create.

• You can also use powerpoint to explain what I listed above.
