Concussion Recovery - Ready to Return to Competition

Twenty-seven days after being diagnosed with a concussion, my daughter is essentially fully recovered from her concussion. Last step is to to return to competition, which isn't going to happen until April 10 or 28.

  • Cleared for step 4 of the Return to Play protocol and full practice on March 20, she went to her 90 minute track & field practice on March 21, but held back on some of the plyometrics.  Sore muscles but no concussion symptoms after practice.
  • On March 24, did a complete 90 minute track practice, plus 60 minutes in the weight room.  Very sore muscles next day, but once again no concussion symptoms.
  • March 26 - went to 90 minute ringette tryout practice tune-up. No concussion symptoms.
  • March 27 - 90 minute ringette practice again, with chance of contact.  No concussion symptoms.
So rest time is over.  With both school and club track & field now on, my daughter has 6-7 hours a week of practice.  She'll be fit and ready for ringette tryouts by the end of April.
