A Growing Concern: The Escalating Challenge of Concussions Across Sports In the realm of athletics, the specter of concussions is on the rise, transcending boundaries and affecting participants in virtually every sport. From contact sports like football and hockey to seemingly low-impact activities such as soccer and cheerleading, the incidence of concussions is becoming an omnipresent concern. The reasons behind this surge are multifaceted, encompassing factors like increased awareness, evolving playing styles, and the growing intensity of competitions. As sports organizations implement more rigorous concussion protocols, athletes, coaches, and parents are becoming more attuned to the importance of early detection and proper management. Despite these efforts, the challenge persists, demanding a collective commitment to athlete safety. Education on preventative measures, continual research, and a cultural shift towards prioritizing player well-being over the relentless pursuit of victory are essential steps in mitigating the rise of concussions in sports. Only through concerted efforts can we ensure that athletes can pursue their passions without compromising their long-term health. #Redoakintruments #injury #newmedicaldevice #monitor #detect #concussions #noninvasive #Hipaacompliant #MadeinAmerica #shoulderpain #Lowerbackpain #injuries #health

HALF OF SPORTS INJURIES IN YOUNG ATHLETES CAN BE PREVENTED! Find out how in our new blog post by Igor Macner, author of “Formula for Success in Sports 1 & 2”. https://lnkd.in/dZ24-pGs

The New Hampshire Football Officials Association held our annual mechanics clinic last night and featured two special guests. Our first speaker was Andrew Toce M. Ed., MBA, LPC, CMPC, who spoke to the attendees about self-awareness and mental resilience. I was introduced to Andrew about 6 months ago and he and I chatted about the growing use of performance consulting in athletics, but outside of the direct application to athlete performance. We were seeing coaches and even business executives start to utilize these resources so my question to Andrew was simply 'can we apply the same lessons to sports officials?'. The answer was a resounding 'yes.' After some planning on how to best approach these topics to a unique audience, I watched and listened as Andrew held this group of officials captive with thought-provoking discussion around the four key elements of self-awareness, the importance of a reset mechanism, and the reminder that we are all human prone to mistakes yet empathetic enough to help each other overcome those instances. To my LI network, especially those in New England I would encourage you to connect with Andrew if you're in need of CMPC services for any member of your sports organization (athletes, coaches, executives, officials). https://lnkd.in/dybHkhaw
