I wish my sons coach had this information when my son got a concussion & the coach was 'unaware' of it! He let my my son just walk around in a daze!

7 hours later when my son came home I looked at him & instantly knew there was a problem and went straight to the ER.

That's terrible. I personally think coaches should take every precaution that there is when something happens to a child. Hope your son is feeling better.

Got this last week. The coach of our local youth football team was happy to get it.

Way to many sports injuries in children go unnoticed and uncared for. This is wonderful! Will drop it off at the Library when it arrives! Thank you again for another wonderful find!
