Great video on concussion myths! Was lucky to meet Dr. Fischer this summer at the See the Line Conference at Western University

Here is the video. Hill was returned to the game. I am so angry!

WATCH: Returning to learn after a #concussion requires a strategic approach.

Two #PCS survivors and Dr. Robert Cantu, CLF's medical director, offer return-to-learn tips and insight in this #PCS Resources video.
