"Kids, Sports and Concussion sets the gold standard for books on
sports-related concussions. It covers everything a sports parent and
coach needs to know about concussions - and more.
Each chapter in the book begins with a story about a famous athlete who
suffered a concussion, which Dr. Meehan uses as a way of introducing the
topic addressed in that chapter. For instance, the chapter titled "What
is a Concussion" begins with a recounting of the "rumble in the jungle,"
in which Muhammad Ali, after tiring out defending heavyweight champion,
George Foreman with what will forever be known as "rope-a-dope," knocked
out Foreman in the eighth round in Zaire with a flurry of blows ending in
a punch to Foreman's jaw that knocked him out. He uses the story to make
a point: that concussions aren't always the result of a blow to the skull
but can be caused by blows to other parts of the body.
.
The book is designed to appeal to both sports parents and coaches with
little or no background in medicine or science, and to those with a
scientific or medical bent looking for in-depth information about the
latest research on concussions. For instance, an early chapter provides a
detailed explanation of the physics of concussion, replete with
illustrative graphs, and each chapter ends with a list of studies - many
of which are the subject of MomsTeam articles - for further reading.
.
One of the things I liked most about the book is that it provides a great
deal of practical advice to parents of concussed athletes on the
management of concussions, treatment options, and the factors they should
consider in deciding when it is safe for their child to return to play
after a sport-related concussion or, for those with a multiple concussion
history, should even consider retiring from contact or collision sports."
