ADVANCED CONCUSSION TRAINING :  in-depth information and inspiration for
the parents, coaches, admin, teachers and the community.

Almost every day the media is discussing concussions with a new awareness.
Research in this field is expanding and with it come some frightening
statistics. As a parent of a high school athlete (involved in any sport),
please come to the BHS' Advanced Concussion Training meeting to show the
new Athletic Director and the athletic community that this is a priority
topic.

*Oct 29th at 8:00PM -9:00PM at the Florence Schwimley Little Theater*

*(Share the flyer attached, or contact the organizers for an emailed copy.)*

*The evening is hosted by*:

Ben Lynch (former California Golden Bear and San Francisco 49er football
player)

Cindy Chang, M.D. (CA Concussion Coalition Co-Chair and Chief Medical
Officer US Olympic Team 2102)

Eric Freitag, Psy.D. (CA Concussion Coalition Co-Chair and President-Elect
Northern CA Neuropsychology Forum)

Casey Batten, M.D. (Cal Head Team Physician)


**Athletes need to know what a concussion looks like in their teammates and
what it feels like for themselves. *

**Coaches and trainers need to know how to respond in the moment.*

**Properly concussion-specific trained doctors need to know when to release
an athlete back onto the field.*

**Parents need to educate themselves and be their child's advocate.*
