Had a great night last Wednesday talking about #concussion to Seaford #football #netball club with Executive Director of #concussionlegacyfoundation Australia Annitta Siliato

The session also presented some exciting stuff to the players and club staff too...all will be revealed soon

Packed out with about 100 turning up! 😱 A good night all round and creating #concussionawareness one club at a time!

Pretty disappointing news overnight from International Football Association Board (IFAB) who have rejected the proposal for a trial for temporary concussion substitutes. Their justification saying that the stakeholders "couldn't agree" appears to be political spin on the situation. However, while concussion protocols can be improved generally in all sports, I am surprised that IFAB do not look to these sports and their head injury assessments for guidance on developing their own system. Despite the rhetoric from these sports saying they "consult the science", all these sports work in silos. Stop kicking the can down the road...
