Ahead of the Game: The Parent's Guide To Youth Sports Concussion
Rosemarie Scolaro Moser's new book, Ahead of the Game: The Parent's Guide to Youth Sports Concussion (University Press of New England) is just what it says it is: a practical, no-nonsense guide for parents about sport concussions.
Moser brings to the subject matter a unique background: As a clinician who has treated hundreds if not thousands of concussed student-athletes at the Sports Concussion Center of New Jersey, she brings real world experience to the subject, not just as a neuropsychologist with specialized expertise on baseline and post-concussion neurocognitive testing but in the management and treatment of concussions, including the academic accommodations that are often needed during the sometimes long road to recovery.

Because the use of mouth guards in youth and high school football,
lacrosse, and ice hockey has been mandatory since the early 1970's,
these sports have experienced a dramatic decline in the number of
dental and jaw injuries. Instead, published reports show that the
majority of mouth injuries occur in such popular youth sports as
baseball, basketball, soccer, field hockey, softball and gymnastics,
which lag far behind in injury protection. Recent studies also report
that oral and facial injuries to female athletes exceed those in males.
