Athletic healthcare includes physical, mental, and emotional health, safety, and well-being. The Athletic Trainer is the “hub of the athletic healthcare wheel”. March is their month. Say thank you, acknowledge their importance. #healthcareverywhere #Respect

[William B. Barr @WB_BARR]

Not so simple when you study the kids. In this report, youth tackle football characteristics did not affect head impact magnitudes during games. Conclusion is more research needed to explore modifiable factors rather than mitigating impact mechanism.

Friendly reminder: concussions are NOT scored on a 3-grade severity scale, and have been discouraged/discontinued since the early 2000’s (despite WebMD still suggesting so). Unfortunate comments by TWO separate reviewers on a manuscript in 2022.
