2010-11 NFHS Wrestling Points of Emphasis Concussion Recognition and Management- Communicable Diseases- Fleeing the Mat-
Concussion Recognition and Management A concussion is a brain injury that results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function- A concussion occurs when the brain is violently rocked back and forth or twisted inside the skull as a result of a blow to the head or body- Neither referees, nor coaches, are expected to “diagnose” a concussion, as that is the job of an appropriate health-care professional- Referees, coaches and administrators are being asked to make all efforts to ensure that concussed athletes do not continue to participate-
Concussion Recognition and Management The referee is not responsible for the evaluation or management of the athlete after he or she is removed from competition- If an appropriate health-care professional on the mat determines that the athlete HAS NOT suffered a concussion, the athlete may return to competition- If there is no appropriate health-care professional available to evaluate the athlete, the athlete SHOULD NOT be allowed by the coach to return to competition- Athletes with continued concussion symptoms are at significant risk for recurrent, cumulative and even catastrophic consequences of a second concussive injury-
Competition - Rule 1 • Rule 1-2-2: No wrestler shall represent the school in more than one weight class in any meet or compete in more than five matches (championship or consolation), including forfeits in any one day.
