American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians Concussion Registry (ACR) - current best practices in the evaluation and management of concussed individuals.
Parents now cite CONCUSSION as the injury they most worry about in their children playing youth sports.
By now we should assume that every Parent has heard about concussion but their perceptions of concussion are often off base.
Common misperceptions include ‘too much sleep’ (48%) or ‘eating certain foods’ (26%) make concussion symptoms worse.
Most (82%) had not heard of the concussion guidelines, and less than half (44%) were aware that sustained mental activity could worsen symptoms (true).

Finding Alpha
A - meditations
Begin your day with an acute sense of purpose, a smile to start, as the light fills your being with an open heart. Trust there is reason for all that you do, be assured that all feelings come from true you. Breath deeply as your body awakes, relax again your body as you begin to meditate. Capture a reason for all that you do, become fully present, in only nature knows how. Fasten your seatbelt, you go for a ride, into the heavens with gigantic leaps and strides. Finding Alpha, we have begun our day, surfing, skiing running we begin to play. Work that awaits us is only a part of all that is open to our self-loving heart. Choose what you do when out of your mind, that’s where you find nature, the purpose of the most pure kind. Laugh as go into a world filled with love, you are the creator of all that is good.

A – written during morning meditation
And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.
