CONCUSSION INFORMATION

Concussion Information Sheet
Grafton Parks and Recreation Parent/Athlete Concussion Awareness Information
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused
by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even a
“ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head, can be serious.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION?
Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or
weeks after the injury. If an athlete reports one or more symptoms of concussion listed below after a bump, blow, or jolt
to the head or body, s/he should be kept out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and it’s ok to return to play.
SIGNS OBSERVED BY COACHING STAFF
Appears dazed or stunned
Is confused about assignment or position
Forgets an instruction
Is unsure of game, score, or opponent
Moves clumsily
Answers questions slowly
Loses consciousness (even briefly)
Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes
Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall
Can’t recall events after hit or fall
SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY ATHLETES
Headache or “pressure” in head
Nausea or vomiting
Balance problems or dizziness
Double or blurry vision
Sensitivity to light
Sensitivity to noise
Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy
Concentration or memory problems
Confusion
Not “feeling right” or “feeling down”
CONCUSION DANGER SIGNS
In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on the brain in a person with a concussion and crowd the brain against
the skull. An athlete should receive immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body s/he
exhibits any of the following danger signs:





One pupil larger than the other
Is drowsy or cannot be awakened
A headache that gets worse
Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination
Repeated vomiting or nausea





Convulsions, seizures, or slurred speech
Cannot recognize people or places
Becomes increasingly confused or agitated
Has unusual behavior
Loses consciousness for any amount of time
WHY SHOULD AN ATHLETE REPORT THEIR SYMPTOMS?
If an athlete has a concussion, his/her brain needs time to heal. While an athlete’s brain is still healing s/he is much more
likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the time it takes to recover. In rare cases, repeat
concussions in young athletes can result in brain swelling or permanent damage to their brain. They can even be fatal.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOUR ATHLETE HAS A CONCUSSION?
If you suspect that an athlete has a concussion, remove the athlete from play and seek medical attention. Do not try to
judge the severity of the injury yourself. Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and is ok to return to play. Rest is key to
helping an athlete recover from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer, or playing video games, may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse. After
a concussion, returning to sports and school is a gradual process that should be carefully managed and monitored by a
health care professional.
As a parent and as an athlete it is important to recognize the signs, symptoms, and behaviors of concussions.
By signing the registration form you are stating that you understand the importance of recognizing and responding to the
signs, symptoms, and behaviors of a concussion or head injury.
