The American Eagles aim to remain ahead of the
curve when it comes to our players’ safety which is why we’ve
partnered with Axon Sports to provide the latest technology in
Baseline Testing and Concussion Management. Axon's latest concussion
management programs feature several tools to ensure Athlete health
and safety. One of those tools is cognitive testing—long considered
a best practice at all levels of play. Axon Sports meets this best
practice by providing Athletes a quick online test and then stores
the results for easy access. Athletes establish Baseline or
"snapshots" of their brains' speed and accuracy using the
Axon Sports Computerized Cognitive Assessment Tool.
Repeating the same tasks “After Injury” identifies any cognitive
changes from the Baseline performance. This helps indicate whether
the brain has fully recovered from the head injury. Doctors use the
test results in making decisions about when it is safe for Athletes
to return to the classroom, practice, or competitive play. American
Eagles Soccer Club is making available to every player in the Club,
cognitive Baseline testing for best-practice concussion management. |
