University student-athletes will be able to return to sports more safely with the launch of a new training course on concussion management.
The Concussion Awareness Training Tool was created with a focus on varsity-level athletes in collaboration with U Sports, the national governing body of university sport in Canada, which represents 56 universities, including Windsor Lancers.
The free course provides detailed information on concussion recognition, reporting, and management. Modules include:
- the signs and symptoms of concussion,
- navigating the reporting process,
- advice on medication,
- supporting a teammate who has experienced a concussion,
- addressing mental health challenges, and
- managing a successful return to school and sport.
Current and former student athletes across Canada provided input, including personal stories from athletes who have experienced a concussion. Learn more on the U Sports website.
