from setback to comeback: rebound & OSAA high school student-athlete recovery stories

Real Journeys. Remarkable Returns.

At Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery, we are proud to celebrate the recovery journeys of student-athletes whose dedication, resilience, and passion for their sport drive them forward. As the official sports medicine and orthopedic partner for the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA), we support athletes at every level—helping them return to practice, rejoin competition, and confidently pursue the sports they love. Each comeback represents more than recovery; it’s a return to teamwork, growth, and opportunity.

Each quarter, we proudly feature one standout student-athlete as our “Rebound Student-Athlete” and share their story across our social media channels, email communications, and website. These features recognize not only athletic achievement, but the perseverance and determination it takes to overcome injury and return to play. By sharing these stories, we highlight the dedication of our athletes and the comprehensive, sports-focused care that supports their recovery. Through our partnership with OSAA, we’re honored to help inspire the next generation of athletes on their path back to movement, performance, and competition. For those who qualify, one Rebound Student-Athlete will be selected to receive a $2,500 scholarship.

We are currently seeking nominations for our seasonal Rebound Student-Athlete and encourage athletes or their families to submit a story for consideration.
