Stretching TIP:

"- Stretch all major muscle groups BEFORE and AFTER every practice and game.

- Stretches should not be done quickly. Hold each stretch for several (30) seconds. Repeat each stretch 2-3 times for each muscle.

- Never bounce when stretching. this will cause injury to the muscle. Instead hold the stretch at the point when you feel the stretching sensation" NSTAR-Children's Hospital Boston

Concussion.. Here is a story parents and athletes should read: ...To Meehan, Maggie’s hardship at school is telling, and highlights yet another aspect of concussions that’s waiting to be explored. “Nobody ever recognized that if someone’s brain isn’t functioning properly because of a concussion, his grades are inevitably going to be affected,” he says. “A lot of ‘dumb jocks’ were probably just kids hugely affected by many concussions. But nobody knew it and nobody helped them.” Meehan sees a disconnect between academic and physical expectations: “Kids wouldn’t fail gym if they couldn’t do 10 push-ups with a broken arm. But with concussions, it’s a different story.”... William Meehan, MD, director of Children’s Sports Concussion Clinic in the Division of Sports Medicine

Typically a Concussion happens when a person is struck in the head, but it can also occur if an athlete is hit on the facemask or chest, causing the head to snap forward or backward. Q&A: Concussions
