Concussions and Young Athletes – Recognition Signs for Coaches

Concussions are a very serious injury. A youth sports coach must do all in his or her power to prevent, recognize and respond to this injury.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has some very informative articles on the subject of concussions.

According to the information contained on the CDC site; a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way the brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.

One misconception is that concussions are a football or contact sport related injury.  Concussions can occur in any sport or recreation activity.

Proper Hydration for Summer Sports

Every year a number of tragedies occur relating to Heat Stroke and dehydration. Proper hydration as well as recognizing and preventing heat illness are very important topics for all coaches to understand.

Athletes, young and old, increase their risk of heat illness as they become dehydrated. According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, it is not uncommon to reach dehydration levels significant enough to place athletes at risk of developing heat illness in as little as an hour of exercise.

Athletes can reach this level even more rapidly if they begin the workout, practice or competition ALREADY DEHYDRATED. It is quite common for many young players to arrive at practice already dehydrated. A full day at school, running around at recess, gym class, not eating or drinking properly throughout the day will all contribute to a child being dehydrated before practice even starts!
