12. STUDENT ATHLETE & PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN CONCUSSION STATEMENT: I am aware of the following information: A concussion is a brain injury which should be reported to my parents, my coach(es) or a medical professional if one is available. A concussion cannot be “seen.” Some symptoms might be present right away. Other symptoms can show up hours or days after an injury. I will tell my parents, my coach and/or a medical professional about my injuries and illnesses. I will not return to play in a game or practice if a hit to my head or body causes any concussion-related symptoms. I will/my child will need written permission from a health care provider* to return to play or practice after a concussion. Most concussions take days or weeks to get better. A more serious concussion can last for months or longer. After a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body an athlete should receive immediate medical attention if there are any danger signs such as loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting or a headache that gets worse. After a concussion, the brain needs time to heal. I understand that I am/my child is much more likely to have another concussion or more serious brain injury if return to play or practice occurs before the concussion symptoms go away. Sometimes repeat concussion can cause serious and long-lasting problems and even death. I have read the concussion symptoms on the Concussion Information Sheet. *Health care provider means a Tennessee licensed medical doctor, osteopathic physician or a clinical neuropsychologist with concussion training.
