Sideline assessments

Sideline assessments are evaluations conducted during a sports event to quickly determine an athlete's health and readiness to continue playing. They typically occur when a player is injured or shows signs of a potential concussion. Medical professionals or trained staff assess the athlete outside the field, checking for physical symptoms, cognitive function, and overall well-being. The goal is to make an informed decision about whether it's safe for the player to return to the game or if further medical attention is needed. This process aims to prioritize player safety and prevent potential long-term injuries.
