Description: The mission of the Web site and organization is to help educate coaches, parents, and athletes about the dangers of concussions and the importance of proper management. It was founded by Jean Rickerson, the mother of a concussed high school football player. Organization members and Web site contributors include physicians, neuro-psychologists, athletic trainers, researchers, and community members with interest in concussion awareness. The Web site primarily is targeted to a lay audience and includes information about symptoms, recovery, gradual return to play, and current news/stories/research. A "Laws" section includes information about state legislation on concussion in sports. In addition, the site highlights iBaseline?, a division of SportsConcussion.org, which is a complimentary service that offers assistance to schools and teams in developing individualized concussion management plans. This site can be useful to the sports medicine professional in several ways. It can be used as a resource to keep up with current concussion news and concussion laws and is a great resource to share with athletes, coaches, and schools.
