"Reporting
a concussion doesn't mean you aren't TOUGH.... You're TOUGH if you sustained a
concussion - you are playing a TOUGH sport, in a TOUGH position, making TOUGH
plays - Be TOUGH - not stupid... report a concussion and make a safe return to
play."

For the handout that was passed out at the PTC Parent
meeting in April 2010 click here.
It contains information on Injuries, Insurance, ImPACT and
Knee braces.
ESPN has
done a story on Second ImPACT Syndrome and ImPACT will be
mentioned
UPMC
Sports Medicine Concussion Program neuropsychologist Dr. Michael Collins
was interviewed for a pre-taped segment of ESPN’s nationally televised
“E:60” news magazine program, debuting at 7 p.m., ET, Tuesday, May 4.
The segment, focusing on sports concussions in young athletes, is framed
around the actual case of LaSalle University football player Preston
Plevretes, who was severely injured in a game against Duquesne
University in 2008 and underwent life-saving brain surgery at UPMC Mercy
by Dr. Altschuler. The UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and Dr.
Collins are featured on both the TV show and in a companion dotcom piece
to run on the show’s website this week. The dotcom piece will showcase
the proper management of sports-related concussion.
The link to
the video is below, you can watch online, it is a VERY POWERFUL
message on second impact syndrome that is reported as only occurring in
athletes under age 23! All
football players should be required to watch.
