What can you do to prevent head injuries while playing sports?

CONCUSSION: Can't be prevented but risk can reduced. KNOWLEDGE- education of players, parents, coaches & league Coordinators about concussion injury recognition. TECHNIQUE- regardless of the sport, teaching proper technique is critical in reducing risk. PREPARATION-teaching better upper body and neck strength/control. POLICY- considering when we permit youth to participate in collision sports
