1) HELPREVENTBI: Using proper blocking and tackling techniques in FB can HELPREVENTBI. Just asQW 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.

ASSOCIATES and SUPPORTERS are the LIFE-BLOOD of N-S-A. ASSOCIATES (18yrs.+) are often COLLEGE STUDENTS paid to DISTRIBUTE INFO regarding TBI and other serious matters. ASSOCIATES often find SUPPORTERS (any age) who will DONATE to N-S-A: 1) to EDUCATE the PUBLIC regarding TBI and 2) to CONTRIBUTE to the SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. ASSOCIATES and SUPPORTERS should keep a stack of QR CODES to DISTRIBUTE toHELPREVENTBI and to RECRUIT ASSOCIATES and SUPPORTERS. MORE CARDS, MORE PERSONNEL, MORE EDUCATION to the PUBLIC, MORE DONATIONS. Jock Patterson FOUNDER N-S-A [email protected]
* N-S-A pays ASSOCIATES (mostly college students) to distribute information to EDUCATE the PUBLIC to HELPREVENTBI. (Constant hydration and Quicker Whistles whenever possible)
