Utah State House Bill 204
I have been following this for quite some time and am very excited it’s is in the House here in Utah. Here is a link to follow this bill. It is a very important one that requires coaches in amateur sports to pull an athlete with a suspected head injury and keep him out until his Dr. give’s the ok to play again. It also requires them to notify the parents. I can only ask that you research all the problems that can happen when a child just shakes off the symptoms and returns to the game. check out http://www.biau.com or http://www.brainline.com to find out more. It can be life changing and I am so happy that they are making people more aware and getting the kids checked out before they continue the game. Happy Bill making! http://le.utah.gov/~2011/htmdoc/hbillhtm/hb0204.htm

This is such a great thing to do. I know that at least Firth High School and Coach Carla Reeves is very aware of this and follows protocol to keep the child benched until they have seen a doctor. One of Rosie’s friends received a concussion this fall and I was very worried for her. But the school handled it very well. I think she had to sit out for at least a week. Unfortunately some children and parents get very upset when their child is kept out of a game for seemingly being “ok”. Just like Diane talks about letting the brain rest and recover, it makes a huge difference.
