The Smartest Team. Making High School Football Safer
Description
Head injuries in youth and high school football pose daunting challenges that sensational media coverage has many parents believing are insurmountable. Factor in a sport culture resistant to change, too many coaches still teaching players to block and tackle using their heads, players unwilling to report concussions, and a game in which concussion identification and management remains haphazard and poorly understood, and it's no surprise that concerned parents are left wondering what, if anything, can be done to improve safety. In this program, Brooke de Lench-an acknowledged expert in youth sports health and safety and the founder and editor-in-chief of MomsTeam.com, an online publication for mothers parenting children active in youth sports-enlists her own team of doctors and coaches to show how football programs and athletes can reduce concussions by playing smarter. The Smartest Team begins where other concussion documentaries leave off.
