While we have never had a skier or mountain biker suffer a head injury, it is good to know what to do should a skier or biker crash and bang their head. Below are two links to on-line training modules on concussion. The MSHSL module only takes about 15 minutes. If you want more information, the CDC module is longer and more comprehensive. State law now requires all high school coaches take some training in concussion and we believe that it is important for all of us to take the course as well. When you do take it, please let Michael O'Connor (mkoconnor@mayo.edu) know.
