The importance of understanding concussion as a coach at any level cannot be understated. As part of the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Active and Safe Initiative, the Coaching Association of Canada has developed Making Head Way in Sport – your best resource for recognizing concussion and implementing proper return to play protocols. This eLearning module is being offered for FREE!
Concussion and brain-related injuries have been making headlines as of late because of the serious implications undiagnosed concussions and improper return to play protocols can have on the long term well-being of an athlete. Making Head Way in Sport is an online learning tool designed to help coaches gain the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of their athletes. This NCCP module covers: what to do to prevent concussions, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion, what to do when you suspect an athlete has a concussion, and how to ensure athletes return to play safely.
Making Head Way in Sport is available free for a limited time here (coaches will require an NCCP# to access the eLearning module) and, once completed, the eLearning module will be included on the coach’s NCCP transcript as professional development. We encourage coaches to make the most of this opportunity to access this FREE online resource, and help us Make Head Way in bringing awareness to concussion in your sport.
