Tackling concussion
March 15, 2013
HERRON has partnered with
Sport Concussion Australasia, to
launch a new community initiative
which aims to raise awareness of
concussion in sport and provide
easy access to a series of free tools
to identify the symptoms and
diagnose concussion.
As such, Herron is urging parents
to take advantage of the many free
tools that the program provides as
injury statistics show that 1 in 5
junior league players are likely to
suffer a concussion this year.
The tool also provides players,
parents, coaches and other sports
administrators with easy access to a
range of free tools that help
identify the warning signs of
concussion and serious injury and
provide a guide of where to find help.
“Concussion rates, especially at a
grassroots level, are underreported
with many of the incidences going
unrecognised or unreported,” said
Herron Sports Concussion
Australasia’s, Dr Ryan Kohler.
The program can be accessed at
sportsconcussionaustralasia.com.
