With the NFL Conference championships decided and the Super Bowl almost upon us, it?s getting close to the time of year when football fans must sit through the Pro Bowl, the NFL?s annual All-Star game. The result is inconsequential, especially when ?victory? for a player comes in the form of finishing the game unscathed. For coaches, it?s a nervous wait as they watch their prize assets run the risk of serious injury. What are the risk management procedures coaches can implement to help avoid such a calamity?
Consult with medical team
NFL teams have some of the most experienced medical teams in the world working behind the scenes. One of the first risk management procedures for an NFL coach should be to consult the team?s medical staff. They will have a record of every bump and bruise a player has suffered throughout their career and will know the risks involved in competing at the Pro Bowl, where a needless injury could potentially cost a player and a team in the long-run.
Don?t let the player play
While this might seem like the simple and obvious solution, many players won?t be too happy with being denied a trip to Hawaii. Even if the Pro Bowl is generally considered to be a non-event for football fans, it?s still an honor for a player to be called up to compete in the annual All-Star game. So while denying a star player a spot on a Pro Bowl team might seem like the obvious risk management procedure, it?s not necessarily the best course of action.
Discuss the player?s inclusion with the Pro Bowl coach
Restricting a player?s game-time would be an effective risk management procedure as it allows them to enjoy the glory of the Pro Bowl while also limiting the chance of a potential injury. If Houston Texans? head coach Gary Kubiak doesn?t want Andre Johnson on the field for too many plays, the best thing he can do is talk to the AFC?s Pro Bowl coach and simply ask that he sits out the second half. It gives the player his game time and makes injury less likely.
Risk management procedures are an important part of any business, whether you?re protecting a Maxwell Award winning linebacker or placing wet-floor signs in the lobby. The only difference is one of those costs you $5 million a year.
