ATHLETES

 

If you are an athlete who has had a concussion, there is a lot to learn.  Learning will help you recover from your injury and avoid a second concussion.  Most importantly, follow the advice of your parents, clinicians, and athletic trainers.

​

Thanks to MCMI Board of Directors member Nancy Dube, RN MPH, we have put together a set of links that will help you understand concussion and work with those who are caring for you.
