Making Head Way - get concussion smart

Making Head Way is the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC)’s free, online answer to the prevalence and ambiguity of concussion in sport.  Parents, coaches, and athletes all benefit from knowing as much as possible about concussion and this online learning tool is designed to help coaches gain the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of their athletes.

The Making Head Way NCCP module covers: 

• what to do to prevent concussions,
