Hit. Stop. Sit. This recent ad by the Government of Ontario delivers a powerful message regarding concussions. It shows a young female soccer player training hard and taking hits to her head during games, eventually collapsing on the field. This campaign was prompted by the death of a 17th year old girl, Rowan Stringer, in Ottawa on May 8th, 2013, when she was tackled during a rugby game. She died from second impact syndrome and had suffered multiple concussions previously. Rowan’s Law was passed unanimously in 2016 and resulted in 49 recommendations to be implemented in an effort to prevent another tragedy such as this from happening in the future.
