See It, Know It: The Illustrated Concussion Guide for ATs & Coaches

These are the notes I wish every student and new clinician had. After 30 years as a licensed athletic trainer, I put the way I actually work a concussion into 12 illustrated pages plus a contents page: recognize, assess, return.

• Recognize: what a concussion is, signs vs. symptoms, sideline recognition, and red flags with emergency action steps
• Assess: a section-by-section SCAT6 walkthrough, balance and VOMS, baseline and neurocognitive testing, and the 6 clinical profiles
• Return: return to learn, the 6-step return-to-sport ladder, state concussion laws, and documentation and communication

Every page has a labeled illustration, an At a Glance summary, a memory hook, a From the Sideline tip, and numbered sources, aligned with the 2022 Amsterdam consensus, SCAT6 and CRT6, and the 2024 NATA bridge statement. It's a study and teaching summary to use alongside the official SCAT6, not a replacement for it.

Made for athletic training, PT and sports medicine students, new clinicians, sports med teachers and coaches. Instant PDF download.
