A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can
change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow
to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. Even a “ding,”
“getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be mild bump or blow to the head can
be serious. 
Concussions can occur in any sport or recreation activity. So, all
coaches, parents, and athletes need to learn concussion signs and symptoms and
what to do if a concussion occurs. 
The CDC (CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION) has put together a group of resources to educate the youth sports community on concussions.
