When it comes to creating engaging public health messages, Mike Evans is a star. The video\u00a023 and 1\/2 hours: What is the single best thing we can do for our health?<\/a> generated 1.2 million views on YouTube in a month. Numbers continue to rise.<\/p>\n

Evans’ follow-up video Concussions 101, a Primer for Kids and Parents<\/a> is likely to be another hit. Dare I say this concussion video will ensure Evans is not a ‘one-hit wonder’?
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Evans is entertaining as he targets kids, youth, and parents with evidence,\u00a0 clear explanations and practical guidelines. It may also be a useful tool for practitioners working with athletes who ask the age old question – ‘when can I return to activity.’<\/p>\n

He uses the high profile example of hockey player Sydney Crosby<\/a> and makes Crosby’s experience relatable to the amateur athlete.<\/p>\n

Recent news of Sarah Burke’s (a champion freestyle skier) severe head injury<\/a> underscores that concussions are an ongoing issue of importance in sport.<\/p>\n

\n

We applaud Evans’ commitment to public health education and hope\u00a0you watch\/use\/enjoy the video.<\/p>\n
