Teaming Up to Protect Young Athletes
The Brain Injury Association of Washington (BIAWA) is teaming up with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Seattle Seahawks as part of a campaign to help protect young athletes from a serious, but often underestimated health threat - concussion. Concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that can disrupt the way the brain normally works. As many as 3.8 million sports-and recreation-related concussions occur in the United States each year.
This campaign, “Washington Heads Up: Concussion in Sports,” is an expansion of CDC’s “Heads Up: Concussion in High School” and “Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports” initiatives and includes materials and information to help coaches identify concussions and take immediate steps to respond when a concussion is suspected. Campaign spokesman and former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Brock Huard will be featured in the campaign’s TV public service announcement, expected to air later in 2008.
