BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Sport Science Institute announces the release of updated NCAA Concussion Fact Sheets for student-athletes and coaches.
These revised educational resources take into account emerging data from the NCAA-U.S. Department of Defense CARE Consortium study, and are the result of input from medical, scientific and health education experts and Divisions I, II and III NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committees and coaches. The fact sheets identify student-athletes and coaches as key stakeholders in promoting concussion safety and provide concrete action steps they can implement to support a healthy and safe culture.

One hundred copies of the Concussion Safety Fact Sheet for Student-Athletes and 75 copies of the Concussion Safety Fact Sheet for Coaches will be mailed this August to designated Division I athletics health care administrators and Divisions II and III head athletic trainers. These printed copies are designed to support your school’s concussion education efforts and to be disseminated to new student-athletes and coaches on your campus.
