The goal of Team Up Speak Up is to make sure as many athletes as possible hear a simple speech. The core message: that athletes have a responsibility to report to a team leader if they notice concussion signs in a teammate.
We can’t change concussion culture without your help. We need people across the country to hear the #TeamUpSpeakUp speech and share the message to report to a coach or athletic trainer if they see a signs of a concussion.
Here’s how to help get #TeamUpSpeakUp trending on social media:
