Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports

They have a lot of resources on the site.  They have fact sheets, quizzes, posters, etc. that everyone can use.

For example, True or False: A repeat concussion that occurs before the brain recovers from the first can slow recovery or increase the likelihood of having long-term problems.  TRUE.
