NCCP Making Head Way in sport Marketing Toolkit

As a coach, you can play an important role in helping participants avoid concussions.

Coaches should provide a safe environment for participants to gradually return to sport and activity after a concussion. This includes a Return to Sport strategy in alignment with recommendations from a licensed healthcare professional.

The role of a coach isn’t to diagnose a concussion, but to recognize that a concussion may have occurred and remove the participant immediately from an at-risk situation. Use the Concussion Recognition Tool 6 (CRT6) to recognize when a concussion may have occurred and respond appropriately.
