CDC Concussion Poster for Young Athletes

developed the poster below for display in locker rooms and gymnasiums in schools nationwide to “educate young athletes about concussion in all sports.” A similar poster was developed for players and “was displayed in every locker room nationwide.”

The poster is the result of a joint effort between the NFL, CDC and Players Association, as well as 16 National Governing Bodies for Sport. It “describes the importance of recognizing a concussion, taking time to recover, and not returning to play too soon.”
