Head Injuries and ConcussionsA concussion is a common form of brain injury

and can be caused by a direct or indirect hit to the head or body (for example, a check to the boards, a hit to the head, or a car crash). When a person suffers a concussion, the brain suddenly shifts or shakes inside the skull and can knock against the

skull's bony surface.

Head Injuries and Concussions

Athletes may experience many different signs and symptoms. A symptom is something athletes will feel, whereas a sign is something athletes’ friends,

family, or coach may notice. Symptoms may appear right away and some may appear later, and vary

greatly. Contrary to popular belief, most concussions occur without a loss of consciousness (LOC).

would be appropriate and realistic in your sport program.

Use the section on Return to Play guidelines of your reference material for a format, and ideas.

LiabilityNegligence: Refers to behaviour or action that falls below a “reasonable standard of care.” The law does not expect coaches to be perfect in his or her behaviour; rather, the law expects coaches to be reasonable and act as other reasonable coaches would in the same circumstances.

LiabilityA coach’s conduct is negligent when all four of the following occur: •A duty of care exists (such as the one that exists between a coach and an athlete).•That duty imposes a standard of care that the coach does not meet. •An athlete or some other person experiences harm.•The failure to meet the standard of care can be shown to have caused or substantially contributed to the harm.

LiabilityThis means:•Coaches have a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for athletes at all times. •Behaviour that puts athletes at risk or in danger is unacceptable •There is no template, formula, or checklist for managing risk. A safe environment varies with the circumstances, including athletes’ age and skill level and the environment in which the coaching activity occurs. •Informed and prudent coaches protect themselves by implementing a personal risk management plan.
