Available free of charge on MomsTEAM's new SmartTeams concussion website, the #TeamUp4ConcussionSafetyTM program, developed by MomsTEAM Institute as part of its SmartTeams Play SafeTM initiative with a Mind Matters Educational Challenge Grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Department of Defense, is designed to do just that: to increase
reporting by athletes of concussion symptoms by engaging coaches, athletes, parents, and health care providers in a season - long, indeed career - long program which emphasizes that immediate
reporting of concussion symptoms - not just by athletes themselves but by their teammate «buddies» - not only reduces the
risk the athlete will suffer a more serious brain injury - or, in rare cases, even
death - but is actually helps the team's chances of winning, not just in that game, but, by giving athletes the best chance to return as quickly as possible from concussion, the rest of the season, and by teaching that honest
reporting is a valued team behavior and a hallmark of a good teammate.

reporting of concussions that continues to plague the sport and remains a major impediment, in my view, to keeping kids safe (the reasons: if an athlete is allowed to keep playing with a concussion, studies show that their recovery is likely to take longer, and they are at increased
risk of long - term problems (e.g. early dementia, depression, more rapid aging of the brain, and in rare cases, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and in extremely rare instances, catastrophic injury or
