DD doesn't wear them but several of her friends do. One said they are easier to take off than a long sleeve shirt when the temp changes. That is her reasoning for wearing them. Lol!

2 years ago DD was battling a case of medial epicondylitis. Her PT suggested she wear one until the symptoms went away. She started by using a smaller band that was created for golfer's/tennis elbow. She eventually progressed to a sleeve instead of the band. Now she rarely wears either.

Maddie will wear full sleeves in combination with a short-sleeve under layer for cool mornings. As the day warms up, stripping off the sleeves is easy, and doesn't require a trip to the bathroom to remove the entire layer. Despite some arm issues in the past, I don't remember a full sleeve ever being recommended to her for medical reasons. She did wear a compression elbow brace/support a few times during her recovery, but it wasn't a full sleeve.

A couple of her teammates will wear one sleeve on occasion because they think it looks cool.

Not here.
Because Brett Favre wears one......I believe people buying into the marketing as the reason for the usage.
