Do Coaches take head injuries seriously?

Does your school or league take the time to talk to parents about concussions? Is there a head injury awareness session before each season or are we just being too nervous?

I don't think so...studies

I don't think so...studies I've seen show that, depending on the sport, anywhere from 10-15 percent to half of all youth athletes suffer at least one concussion a season while playing contact sports. I didn't learn this from my son's coach, the school, or the league.

Thank you and thank you to Brooke de Lench for coming to CA to talk at the National Sports Concussion Summit where I learned even more.

i DID NOT LEARN IT FROM A COACH OR SCHOOL EITHER.I learned it from my 14 y/o who suffered a concussion during a football game. Everyone should go to espn.com and type in second impact syndrome.then click on the video where the athlete from n.c. died.This is a must see for every parent.
