About this title

About the Author

Authors Keith Primeau and Kerry Goulet both know what it is like to live with the after-effects of multiple concussions. The two have made it their mission to get the message out to parents, coaches and especially sports players. Their website stopconcussions.com is a companion to Concussed! and an interactive way to find the most up-to-date information on dealing with concussions. They are working with doctors and other healthcare providers on a protocol for the management of these injuries. These are truly two gladiators in the field, and this book is a testament to their convictions.
