National Youth Brain Injury Prevention Tour Speaks to Round Rock High School

Sarah Jane Brain Foundation In The News

ROUND ROCK, TX – Around 200 Round Rock High School students participated in the Sarah Jane Brain Project’s sports-concussion presentations this afternoon. Leslie Mabry of the Sarah Jane Brain Foundation showed the project’s education multimedia presentation to the students and answered their many questions about concussions. The students were particularly interested in the difference of how girls and boys brains are different.

When asked “what are the symptoms of a concussion?” one student explained that he felt “really dizzy” when he got a concussion. The presentation covered all of the concussion symptoms and stressed the importance of students reporting these symptoms to their coaches, doctors, and parents. The Sarah Jane Brain Project will be doing these presentations at high schools throughout the United States from now through June. For more information please visit www.thebrainproject.org.
