Legislative, Technological Advancements to Prevent Concussions

High school football teams have started summer practices, and this year there are some notable changes in how coaches are approaching concussion prevention.

New legislation mandates that all coaches take concussion-awareness training courses, and more players are buying helmets that are specifically developed to protect the head against concussions. This week on Noon Edition, we will discuss these changes and how they're designed to protect the players.

You can ask your questions by joining our live chat at  WFIU.ORG/NoonEdition, following us on Twitter @NoonEdition or calling into the program at  812-855-0811.
