Take the Football Helmet Warning Sticker Challenge

Instead of writing an article about acquired brain injuries this month, I’ve created the Football Helmet Warning Sticker Challenge.

The goal of the Football Helmet Warning Sticker Challenge is to raise awareness about football helmet safety so people know and understand:
  • Playing by the rules of the game may prevent injuries from occurring to you and other players.
  • Helmets must be fitted properly.
  • Contact in football may result in Concussion / Brain Injury which no helmet can prevent.
  • The symptoms of a concussion are typically but not limited to: loss of memory, dizziness, headache, confusion, “seeing stars.” disorientation, wooziness, loss of balance, neck or spine pain, nausea, vomiting.
  • Never play football or any sport with a concussion as it may lead to another concussion, a more serious brain injury or a fatal brain injury.
  • Do not return to play until all symptoms are gone and you have received medical clearance from a doctor.
  • Know your State Return to Play Laws.

 

TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

Football Helmet Warning Sticker Challenge:

Post a video of you or someone else (player, coach, parent, trainer) reading a football helmet warning sticker. Have a discussion about football helmet safety.
  1. Why is it important for everyone to play by the rules of the game?
  2. Why must a football helmet fit properly?
  3. What are the symptoms of a concussion?
  4. Why is it important to tell a coach, trainer, or parent that you or a teammate is having or exhibiting concussion symptoms?
  5. Why is it dangerous to continue to play football with a concussion?
  6. When can a player return to play after having a concussion?

 

POST YOUR VIDEO to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. and always use #footballhelmetwarningstickerchallenge

*What if I don’t have a football helmet or a warning sticker?
You can use the picture of a football helmet with a warning sticker on it or the helmet manufacturer’s football helmet warning information I’ve provided in the COMMENTS SECTION. You can also go to any helmet manufacturer’s website to see their warning information or contact them directly for a copy of their football helmet warning information.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual changes—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
