Description

Concussions can happen to any athlete—male or female—in any sport. Coaches, athletic directors and trainers play a key role in helping to prevent concussion and in managing it properly if it occurs. This kit contains practical, easy-to-use information including a video and DVD featuring a young athlete disabled by concussion, a guide, wallet card and clip board sticker for coaches, posters, fact sheets for parents and athletes in English and Spanish, and additional concussion-related resources.
