Concussions in Youth Sports

We hear a lot of discussion in the media about concussions in youth sports, but rarely are the practical aspects addressed, such as how to recognize symptoms and how to take action.

In response to this, we have uploaded some useful .pdf’s from the Center for Disease Control. These are posted here for you to make use of by printing them out for yourself and others. Please feel free to share this web page with anyone you think would benefit so that they may also make use of this important information.

Additionally, please see my article with more information regarding this topic.
