GYMagine Gymnastics Concussion Information Sheet
A concussion is a brain injury and all brain injuries are serious. They are caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a blow to
another part of the body with the force transmitted to the head.. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
normally works.
Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged
brain damage and death if not recognized and managed properly. In other words, even a “ding” or a bump on the head can be serious.
You can’t see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may
show up right after the injury or can take hours or days to fully appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice
the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek medical attention right away.
Symptoms may include one or more of the following:
•Headaches •”Don’t feel right”
•”Pressure in head” •Fatigue or low energy
•Nausea or vomiting •Sadness
•Neck pain •Nervousness or anxiety
•Balance problems or dizziness •Irritability
•Blurred, double, or fuzzy vision •More emotional
•Sensitivity to light or noise •Confusion
•Feeling sluggish or slowed down •Concentration or memory problems
•Feeling foggy or groggy (forgetting name of skills)
•Drowsiness •Repeating the same question/comment
•Change in sleep patterns
•Amnesia
Signs observed by teammates, parents and coaches include:
•Appears dazed •Slurred speech
•Vacant facial expression •Shows behavior or personality changes
•Confused about assignment •Can’t recall events prior to hit
•Forgets plays •Can’t recall events after hit
•Is unsure of game, score, or opponent •Seizures or convulsions
•Moves clumsily or displays no •Any change in typical behavior or
coordination personality
•Answers questions slowly •Loses conciousness
What can happen if my child keeps on playing with a concussion or returns too soon?
Athletes with the signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from play immediately. Continuing toplay with the signs and
symptoms of a concussion leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury.
There is an increased risk of significant damage from a concussion for a period of time after the concussion occurs,particularly if the
athlete suffers another concussion before completely recovering from the first one. This can lead to prolonged recovery, or even to severe
brain swelling (second impact syndrome) with devastating and even fatal consequences. It is well know that adolescent or teenage athletes
will often under report symptoms of injuries. And concussions are no different. As a result, education of administratiors, coaches, parents
and students is the key student-athlete safety.
If you think your child has suffered a concussion
Any athlete even suspected of suffering a concussion should be removed from the game or practice immediately. No athlete may return to
activity after an apparent head injury or concussion, regardless of how mild it seems or how quickly symptoms clear, without medical clearance.
Close observation of the athlete should continue for several hours. The new “Zachery Lystedt Law” in Washington now requires the consistent
and uniform implementation of long and well-established return to play concussion guidelines that have been recommended for several years:
“a youth athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a practice or game shall be romoved from competition at that time”
and “may not return to play until the athlete is evaluated by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussion
and received written clearance to return to play from that health care provider”.
Please read and return the bottom portion to GYMagine Gymnastics
You should also inform your child’s coach if you think that your child may have a concussion. Remember, it is better to miss one game than to
Miss the whole season. When in doubt, the athlete sits out.
