Following Concussion Protocol Properly
Discipline 5: Physical Performance — Lesson 11 of 12
Lecturer: Douglas Kerr
Symptoms can appear hours later, not just on impact. This session covers coming off immediately on any suspicion of a head knock, never self-assessing, and following the full graded return-to-play steps even when symptoms clear quickly.
The three rules
1. Come off on any suspicion.
2. Never self-assess a head knock.
3. Follow the full graded return steps.
