ConcussionFoundation ConcussionFoundation ConcussionFoundation.orgConcussionFoundation.org @ChrisNowinski1@ConcussionLF SECOND IMPACT SYNDROME • Second Impact Syndrome occurs when an athlete, who has already sustained a head injury, sustains a second head injury before symptoms have cleared from the first injury • This second blow to the head, sometimes minor, can result in a loss of auto-regulation of the brain's blood supply, leading to rapid brain swelling. • 50% of SIS sufferers die, and the survivors rarely recover fully. It usually occurs to athletes <21 years old, although it can happen to older athletes Source: NY Times, Cantu, R. C. (1996). Head injuries in sport. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 30, 289-296.

She worked to guide me through my research, keep me calm when things got stressful and push me to make my writing the best it could be. I truly do not know how this project would have to come to be without her. Several other people have helped me along the process as well, including Dr. Bernhard Debatin, who initially approved the idea behind this. I also want to give a special shoutout to everyone in The Post newsroom for listening to me ramble about concussions and letting me talk people’s ears off about social responsibility theory and more. You all made it so I was consistently excited about my project and gave me the belief that I could actually do this. I also want to thank those of you who took the time to read through and copy edit my chapters.
