Concussion Awareness - Concussions in sports and elsewhere are getting a lot of attention these days, and for good reason, finally. Several state youth soccer associations have made Concussion Awareness Training mandatory for all youth sports coaches. Mass Youth Soccer is currently formulating its position on concussions. In the meantime, here is what all coaches can do both for the benefit of their players and to use in everyday life. Go to the Center for Disease Control web site and take the free on-line concussion awareness course. Parents, too!
