OPEN YOUR HEART, HELP EDUCATE Millions Today, HELP SAVE THE BRAINS of Millions Tomorrow.

● EDUCATE THE PUBLIC:

» HELPREVENTBI,
» RECOGNIZE TBI,
» CARE for TBI.

1) HELPREVENTBI: Using proper blocking and tackling techniques in FB can HELPREVENTBI. Just as QW for SAFETY SAKE can HELPREVENTBI in all youth and HS contact sports, esp FB. QW can protect players’ brains and increase participation more successfully than the best FB helmets.

PROPER HYDRATION is very important for all PLAYERS during practices and games.
PROPER HYDRATION can reduce the number and severity of TBI.
DEHYDRATED PLAYERS tend to suffer more TBI and more severe TBI.

2) RECOGNIZE TBI: All TBI are not the same. Why take a chance? Any player that has suffered a possible TBI needs immediate attention by a Doctor or Medical Professional to determine the severity of the TBI. See COMMON SYMPTOMS of TBI below.

3) CARE for TBI: to determine the immediate course of action by a Doctor or Medical Professional, because all brain to skull contact should be considered severe and could be fatal if left unattended.

More IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

● RESEARCH: 4,000,000 TBI occur in all HS sports each school year.

1,200,000 athletes play HS FB each yr. >> 600,000 HS FB players (½ the total) report no TBI >> 600 000 - the other half - suffer 1,880,000 TBI /yr., during FB practices and games at all HS levels. (average 3 TBI / TBI injured player / yr.) (FB has 400 000 severe TBI/ yr.) LEARN MORE

● LOGIC: More time > More contact > More injuries. In most contact sports, “Quicker Whistles” stop the action, and by doing so reduce contact and reduce the number of injuries, esp TBI, esp FB where the greatest number of TBI occur each year. HELPREVENTBI.

● COMMON SOLUTION - “Quicker Whistles” are the best way to protect players’ brains to prevent injuries, esp TBI in all youth and HS contact sports, ESP FB, esp when players could collide going out of bounds.

● JOIN N-S-A’s CAMPAIGN 1) Improve safety in all contact sports, esp FB 2) by promoting the prevention of TBI by QW. 3) n-s-a.org DONATE or scan the QR CODE 4) HELPREVENTBI with a one time gift of $25. 5) You can help even more by encouraging your friends to JOIN GIVE SAVE BRAINS. DONATIONS to N-S-A are tax deductible and will help to EDUCATE the PUBLIC today and will HELPREVENTBI for years to come.

● SOME COMMON SYMPTOMS of TBI: Confusion ♦ Blurred vision ♦ Sensitivity to light ♦ Difficulty concentrating ♦ Slurred speech ♦ Inability to recognize common things ♦ Irritability ♦ Persistent headache ♦ Persistent repetition of words ♦ Anger ♦ Apathy ♦ Loneliness ♦ Problem with balance ♦ Blackout ♦ Dizziness ♦ Fainting ♦ Fatigue ♦ Dilated pupil/unequal pupils ♦ Nausea/vomiting

WHY do many Principals, ADs and FB Game Officials (1) refuse to support N-S-A’s QW CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT INJURIES and (2) avoid any discussion regarding TBI? Who is being severely injured while they pass the buck? 400 000 FB PLAYERS/YR.
