Accidents and injuries happen in sports. But that fact does not excuse coaches from possible negligence. Lawsuits were once rare occurrences, but are much more common in today's world. Many injuries are avoidable when knowledgeable youth coaches insist on cautious proceedings. For the most part, knowing and using these sports safety tips will absolve coaches of negligence charges.
Of course, no one wants to see athletes injured at all. You must make everyone's well-being priority number one and be aware of any of the possible dangerous aspects of play. Running safe training and games takes planning and observant coaches.
Gone are the days when "shake it off" can be a coach's mentality like it once was. You must listen, take injury concerns seriously, and deal with them accordingly.
The advancement in concussion research makes any head injury an utmost priority. Extreme care and follow-up procedures are essential, no matter how minor a head blow is. When there is any doubt, players must leave play and see a physician immediately. In sports where concussions are most likely, coaches should know the signs and initial treatment, too.
