Consider the following scenario: It is the last quarter of the championship game. Your best athlete is knocked down, and you think she may have hit her head. She continues playing, but you notice that she is not acting right. You call a time-out to talk to her. She says she is fine, and wants to keep playing. What should happen next
The athleteshould not be allowed to go back to the field but rather, she should rest and a medical personnel should check her.
This may be a sign of concussion. Allowing the athlete to go back to the field might worsen her situation as she may eventually faint or collapse.
In this case, since she should be called and she should be asked if she hit her head on something and she should also be asked about the symptoms that she's having.
When this is done, the team doctor or a medical personnel should be called to come and attend to her.
