My project will address the lack of awareness of the risks of concussions, and the long term and short term effects concussions have on the brain. I hope to achieve to spread awareness throughout my community and to address the need of knowledge on concussions, and how to immediately recognize a concussion.

 

There are too many young athletes who have gotten, or have had concussions that are not properly assessed or evaluated, and to spread awareness about concussions to the parents and players. My goal is to teach them that there needs to be awareness and knowledge about concussions.

​

With help, I have developed a hockey bag concussion awareness bag tag that was distributed to all players in WYHA, after receiving such good feedback, I would like to expand my project to hockey programs all around the state.
