Thanks to #RowansLaw, thousands of Ontarians are getting informed about concussion as they register for their sport season. We worked with the Government of Ontario to get the right information in their hands. #ConcussionEd #RowansLawDay @Reframe_Health
“We want to make sure that when another Rowan comes along...that somebody steps up and says ‘you need to be looked after.”
Be part of the movement and remember Rowan’s Legacy. @RugbyCanada @CHLHockey @USPORTSca @CFL @rugbyworldcup

I first met Rowan’s parents in person @Kattham19 and @Rowans_Dad when presenting them the 1st PINK Concussions Award in Feb 2016. Their 2014-15 advocacy to change the status quo in Rowan’s memory was a huge inspiration to me as I launching PINK. @RowansLaw #RowansLawDay – at Toronto, Ontario

My wish list for high school and youth coaches
1. Pre-hab - don't neglect appropriate and RELEVANT strength training for your sport
2. Don't have athletes push through injuries
3. Encourage culture of reporting injuries
4. Keep your practices and sport fun

If you haven't watched this video of Gabriel Landeskog speaking about his experience with concussions, you should.
"If I could do it all over again, I never would've gone back in that game."
