Our customised 'Brain Health' pages are dedicated to this crucial topic in football at all levels. It provides essential information, research and guidance for heading and concussion guidelines.
Concussion is a relatively common injury in football and that’s why everyone who takes part in football needs to know four things:
• What concussion is
• How you recognise it
• What to do if a player is concussed
• How to manage a player’s return to training/playing
You can read more about all these aspects in England Football's comprehensive guidelines.
