A brutal collision left Marty White dazed and disoriented after he
clutched a football to his chest and accelerated through a seam in the
defense under the bright lights on a random Friday night in late 1982.
.
White, then a high school junior in Buffalo, N.Y., slowly picked himself
up off the field and unwittingly shuffled to the opposing sideline with
his mind in a fog. His teams coaching staff retrieved him, returned him to
the correct side of the field and two plays later he was inserted back
into the action.
.
White played the remainder of the game, he was later told, though even
then he couldnt recollect much of it. On the bus ride home, he curiously
looked down and noticed the dirt and grass stains that camouflaged his
jersey.
.
I looked down at my uniform and asked my friend, How did we get so dirty
on the way to the game? recalls White, now the head football coach at
Indio High School. I didnt realize that we had already played.
.
White later played college football at Penn and estimates he suffered four
or five noticeable concussions during his playing career. In some cases he
blacked out. Other times, he slurred his speech and experienced memory
loss immediately following the violent encounter that caused the trauma.
.
Now as a coach, during a time when concussion research and awareness is
surging throughout the country, White sees the contrast in how such trauma
is managed from when he played the violent game.
.
Night and day.
.
As White has witnessed, concussion management and discussion are slowly
changing in the Coachella Valley, despite being secluded in a corner of a
state that lags behind a nationwide emphasis in new concussion-related
education and protocol.
.
California is one of the few states that does not require high schools to
have a full-time certified athletic trainer on campus to monitor
concussions and other forms of trauma. As a result, just 19 percent of the
roughly 1,500 schools in the state have a certified individual monitoring
concussions and ensuring proper procedure is carried out.
.
A state that is very behind in their understanding and awareness of
especially concussion management, but Id say sports medicine in general,
said Patty Curtiss, a certified trainer and concussion consultant who
works with Eisenhower Medical Center and College of the Desert.
.
In some instances, having a certified trainer on campus is the difference
between a concussion that is misdiagnosed and mistreated versus one that
leads to full rehabilitation.
