The Ride To The Rink: Got Your Bell Rung? Here’s What To Do Next (With Dr. Baric)
Description
🧠 This might not be your favorite hockey topic… but it could be the most important one you ever hear.
On this Ride to the Rink, we’re talking about something every player needs to understand: concussions. With the help of concussion expert Dr. Baric (myconcussiondr.com), we break down what actually happens when you take a hit to the head—and why speaking up could protect your entire hockey future.
💥 You’ll learn:
- What a concussion really is (in simple terms)
- The signs your body gives you when something’s wrong
- Why getting a second hit too soon can be dangerous
- How to recognize symptoms—even if no one saw the hit
- Why the smartest players are the ones who speak up
👀 The truth? Hockey players are tough. But when it comes to your brain, being smart beats being tough every time.
🎯 Whether you're on the bench, in the car, or heading to practice—this is one episode every player (and parent) should hear.
