While concussions do occur in rugby, World Rugby is at the forefront of concussion education and prevention for coaches, athletes and the medical team, according to Ahuero.

What I learned from working with the Newcastle team, and with youth football programs across the country over the years is that traditional concussion education in which athletes, coaches, and parents are taught the signs and symptoms of concussion, and the health risks of concussion and repetitive head trauma, isn't working to change the concussion reporting behavior of athletes.

Because studies show that one - off concussion education isn't enough to change concussion symptom reporting behavior, Step Three in the SmartTeams Play SafeTM #TeamUp4 ConcussionSafetyTM game plan calls for coaches, athletes, athletic trainers, team doctors (and, at the youth and high school level, parents) to attend a mandatoryconcussion safety meeting before every sports season to learn in detail about the importance of immediate concussion symptom reporting, not just in minimizing the risks concussions pose to an athlete's short - and long - term health, but in increasing the chances for individual and team success.

Besides the 2013 University of Washington study, a number of other recent studies have found education ineffective in improving self - reporting by athletes, adding to a growing body of evidence challenging the conventional wisdom that inadequate athlete concussion knowledge is the principal barrier to increased reporting, and suggesting that one of the best ways to combat underreporting by athletes of concussion symptoms may be to shift the focus of educational efforts towards helping coaches facilitate concussion reporting, the theory being that athletes will be more likely to report concussion symptoms if they no longer think that they will be punished by the coach for reporting, such as by losing playing time or their starting position, perceived by their teammates as letting them down, or viewed by their coach as «weak,» all of which have been documented in numerous studies over the past decade as reasons athletes are reluctant to report concussion symptoms.
