Tuesday, September 13th, marks the first ever National Concussion Education Day, created by the Concussion Legacy Foundation. On this day, speeches will be given from coaches, captains, and medical team members to Illinois high school athletes. These athletes will be encouraged to team up, and speak up to fight concussions. For those who choose to pledge, they are being asked to post to social media using #TeamUpSpeakUp and include a photo of teammates with arms around each other and their index fingers pointing up in the air.
