“When in doubt, sit them out.” Concussion symptoms in a young athlete should never be ignored. Dr. Kate Berz and Dr. Paul Gubanich are sports medicine specialists and concussion experts – they're on the podcast today to answer the questions that so many parents have about concussions and kids playing contact collision sports. We cover the role coaches play in identifying injuries, when a young athlete should see a doctor, the importance of rest after a concussion, helmets, and the important question of whether contact collision sports are worth the risk. If you have a young athlete – especially one who plays soccer, lacrosse or football – this is one you don’t want to miss!
