One of the most active athletic trainers» association
at the state
level is in New Jersey, which was the first state to require by law that coaches receive safety training, is among the 40 states that have enacted strong youth concussion safety laws, and has been a leader in advocating
for academic accommodations
for concussed student -
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.
The well - publicized lawsuits by former players against the N.F.L., the suicide of Junior Seau, a «Chicken Little - sky is falling» mentality by some prominent concussion experts and former
athletes, some of whom suggest that the sport is simply too dangerous to be played
at all
at the youth
level, and continuing research on the short - and long - term effects of concussion on cognitive function and brain health, have created a pretty toxic environment
for the sport.
At GSSI, we study
athletes of all ages and skill
levels in our own physiology, performance, biochemistry and exercise sensory labs to make sure the Gatorade is formulated

One way, I believe, to address the problem of under - reporting and increase the chances a concussion will be identified early on the sports sideline may be to rely less on
athletes themselves to remove themselves from games or practices by reporting concussion symptoms (which the most recent study shows occurs
at a shockingly low rate, [9] or on game officials and sideline observers to observe signs of concussion and call
for a concussion assessment, but to employ technology to increase the chances that a concussion will be identified by employing impact sensors designed to monitor head impact exposure in terms of the force of hits (both linear and rotational), number, location, and cumulative impact, in real time
at all
levels of football, and in other helmeted and non-helmeted contact and collision sports, where practical, to help identify high - risk impacts and alert medical personnel on the sideline so they can consider performing a concussion assessment.
Although you can also look
at football helmet ratings, the NOCSAE cautions «against an over-reliance on any individual data point, rating or measurement which could lead to inaccurate conclusions or even a false sense of security that one helmet brand or model guarantees a measurably higher
level of concussion protection than another
for a particular
athlete.»

We know that bullying harms and that's why
athletes —
at Olympic, university, and high - school
levels — seek the courage required to speak up and ask

All of us involved in youth sports - from parents, to coaches, from athletic trainers to school athletic directors to the
athletes themselves - have a responsibility to do what we can to make contact and collision sports safer, whether it by reducing the number of hits to the head a player receives over the course of a season (such as N.F.L. and the Ivy League are doing in limiting full - contact practices, and the Sports Legacy Institute recently proposed be considered
at the youth and high school
level in its Hit Count program), teaching football players how to tackle without using their head (as former pro football player Bobby Hosea has long advocated), changing the rules (as the governing body
for high school hockey in Minnesota did in the aftermath of the Jack Jablonski injury or USA Hockey did in banning body checks
at the Pee Wee
level), or giving serious consideration to whether
athletes below a certain age should be playing tackle football
at all (as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend).

level in only Arizona, Iowa, and Ohio), and requires that coaches who disregard the safety and well being of a youth sports participant as it related to concussions be subject to indefinite suspension (only Pennsylvania and Connecticut have laws which penalize coaches
for violating their statutes)
