New Jersey High School Student Asks Congress for Concussion Management Guidelines
I read an interesting article recently in which Niki Popyer, a 16-year old resident of Marlboro, New Jersey, joined former players from the National Football League and asked Congress to develop concussion management guidelines after she was forced to give up basketball because she suffered multiple concussions. The bill would also establish a grant program to states to come up with ways to prevent, diagnose and treat sports-related concussions in schools.
