THE TUAC SPEECH

Become a Concussion Legacy Captain

Concussion Legacy Captains are CLF ambassadors committed to achieving our vision of concussion safety without compromise. Captains will give the Team Up Against Concussions speech to their sports teams every season to set the tone that no athlete with a concussion should return to play before their brain is ready.

Every Concussion Legacy Captain gets a free Team Up Against Concussions wristband and Captains’ card to help them give the speech that could save a season, a career, or even a life.

The Team Up Against Concussions Speech

If a concussion goes unreported or is managed incorrectly, it can derail an athlete’s season, their career, and in the worst cases, their life. Our Team Up Against Concussions (TUAC) speech is designed to protect against the worst outcomes of concussion: longer recovery, persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS), and second impact syndrome (SIS).

The speech leverages the bystander intervention model to deliver a simple message to the team: a teammate with a concussion needs your help and should receive immediate medical attention.

Our Concussion Legacy Captains commit to giving the TUAC speech to their teams before every season.

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Many concussions go unreported and untreated, making it extremely important to know how to recognize them.
