Move your finger from left to right and up and down in a straight line. Make sure the player doesn\u2019t move anything but their eyes. Make sure this doesn\u2019t give the player a headache or worsen it.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Test a player’s neck strength to see if it is normal. Make them push their neck against the palm of your hand. If it hurts the player don\u2019t let the player go back in the game.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the player is feeling well after those two exercises they most likely don\u2019t have a concussion. Make sure to have the player jog on the sideline before putting them in. If the player doesn\u2019t have a headache after that then they can play.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If a player can’t come back in the game make sure the parent knows what the situation is. The player should see a doctor.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
