Keep athletes safe, take concussions seriously ALL HEAD INJURIES REQUIRE EXPERT CARE By Scott Livingston Special to the Herald-Leader
It was national news last fall when Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow suffered a concussion during the University of Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at the University of Kentucky. But even among high school athletes and children, concussions are a serious problem. Every year, young athletes across the country suffer debilitating and sometimes fatal head injuries. Despite significant research efforts addressing concussions in sports over the past several decades, myths and misconceptions persist among athletes, coaches, parents and even health care
professionals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to realize that a concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. All head injuries, including concussions, should be taken seriously.

to develop a comprehensive Sports Concussion Program, a collaboration between the College of Health Sciences, the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center, the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute and Cardinal Hill
Rehabilitation Hospital. We are working closely with the Brain Injury Alliance of Kentucky, the state chapter of the Brain Injury Association of America. Further efforts involve organizing a town hall meeting with the Blue Grass chapter of the Society for Neuroscience, coming up this April. Our goal is to increase awareness, provide coordinated care and decrease the potential negative effects of concussions in sports. Yes, a concussion is more than just a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bump on the headâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is a mild traumatic brain injury that must be reported among coaches, parents and health-care providers for a comprehensive strategy to ensure a bright future for young athletes.
