>> Well, also at the NCSL Summit in Louisville this week, former Arkansas Razorbacks coach Jack Crowe.
Was there promoting injury prevention and youth sports.
The coach Safely Foundation has created a low-cost service to train coaches direct ignited the signs of a concussion.
The training program also teaches coaches how to prevent them.
>> You take all the athletes from grade first grade all the way through all pro.
Okay.
60% of all those would be 14.
The number maybe 70%.
And yet it's where coaches are volunteers and their organizations have no standards to protect him like you do in high school.
High schools do a great job colleges.
Do a great job.
The pros do a great job.
We just don't have anything for the largest, most vulnerable population.
So we do in 2 states, Alabama and Arkansas.
We have a disparate.
You.
Sports organizations are 400,000 of them estimated by the sporting good industry.
They're becoming very privatized.
Private organizations.
We don't always look at risk factors.
And it is a gigantic business and it is motivated by money when a green research says that EU sports is a 76 billion dollar industry.
That's bigger than the NFL and Major League Baseball put together so the money is driving this shift.
Standards have gotten left behind.
Because she has happened.
Girls are more vulnerable.
Girls are more vulnerable.
The ACL tears there is a way to manage that.
And so this is all cold body of knowledge.
It's not rocket science.
We take in 75 minutes.
We get a certification.
The parents know you're certified and just win, win, win.
The policy has to start with who's been affected by policy.
And the reality is every parent is concerned.
This every parent, those who vote.
And if they were just put some information to what the concerns are.
It would go through public health with this is a this is a public health epidemic.
You sports is a recognizable CDC and I each clearly define epidemic.
>> Every state has a concussion.
Well, to some degree.
Is it implemented?
There's no data to tell you whether it's implement.
We have a date, a delivery system that will tell you because of concussion course is inside of this course as part of the school's everything that's in the concussion walls.
But I think as long as it's pretty simple, as long as you look at it from your own living room.
Most of these legislators are grandparents, though, just think about when they were standing on the sideline watching their grandchild play.
Did they have concerns for their safety?
All you got to do's.
Just carry that into a policy room and you will make this policy.
>> The coach safely Foundation hopes to reach all 50 states and inspire state legislators to require more training for public and private youth sports
