While we await the prognosis and recovery of Olympic hopeful McKayla Maroney, I hear that Canadian diver Alexandre Despatie just suffered a possible concussion when his head hit the diving board while training in Madrid.
Bad timing. 😦
But he expects to be back for the Olympics.
Canadian Olympic Trampolinist Rosie MacLennan (Facebook) had a concussion some weeks ago. But is back in competition. Whew. … Rosie is awesome, by the way. (VIDEO)
We’re only just starting to understand concussion. As coaches we need do everything possible to reduce the risk of impact to the head.
