Schools

Concussion Training and Education

An informative and fascinating discussion about concussions, sponsored by Westport PAL, and required for their coaches.  Parents are invited to hear about symptoms of concussion, treatment, attitude, and the most up-to-date research, which is constantly evolving.  Kids do not have to play a sport to get a concussion, so it's in all parents' interest to hear this engaging speaker, Chris Nowinski from the Sports Legacy Institute.  He is a Harvard educated former world wrestler who was forced to retire because of multiple concussions.  Well worth attending, and may not be repeated for parents.
