CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT IN INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS MISSION
SATEMENT
| The New York State Athletic Administrators Association
and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association have partnered
to educate interscholastic athletic personnel, secondary school athletes, parents
of the athletes, school nurses and school physicians in current sport concussion
management policies and procedures. Recognizing the concussed athlete, applying
the guidelines for appropriate response, understanding the dangers of inappropriate
actions and following correct protocols for return to school and athletic participation
will be outcomes of the educational process. As a result, the number of New
York State
scholastic athletes suffering from “post concussion syndrome” or “secondary
impact syndrome” will significantly decrease. | |
