Concussion Education 101 – Schedule your Workshop Today!
Concussions can occur while participating in any sport or recreational activity. Since the circumstances under which a concussion can be sustained are so varied, it’s important for all coaches, parents, and athletes to be aware of the signs, symptoms, and what to do if a concussion occurs. Sport Manitoba and the Sport Medicine & Science Council of MB are committed to increased education, awareness, and established protocols that will assist you in gaining the knowledge and skills required ensuring the safety of your athletes. We can all work together to ensure a safe sport environment.
Sport Manitoba and the Sport Medicine and Science Council of MB have partnered to offer concussion workshops to educate athletes, coaches, parents, and all members of the sports community on concussion recognition. These courses are aligned with the standardized sport-specific concussion protocols approved by Sport Manitoba and Manitoba’s Provincial Sport Organizations. The course will address many questions on what a concussion is, how to spot the signs and symptoms, what to do, how to prevent future concussions, and the proper steps to return to the field of play.
Email sport.med@sportmanitoba.ca to schedule a Concussion 101 course today! Courses are offered at no cost and can be facilitated in person or via zoom.
QR Code Stickers Still Available!
A QR Code sticker (see image below) that takes users to the Sport Manitoba Concussion Resource webpage was developed for Concussion Week 2022 and is still available. Having coaches, participants, officials, parents and spectators access this crucial information via QR code (rather than posters or handouts) ensures that the information accessed is always up to date. We are looking to distribute these stickers to anywhere and anyone you feel would benefit.
Our vision is that these stickers will end up on walls in gyms, fitness centers and training facilities and stuck directly on coaches clipboards, athletes water bottles and coaching resources – ultimately wherever individuals are engaging in physical activity!
Please email sport.med@sportmanitoba.ca with the number of stickers you would like/are able to distribute.
