One record, wherever you play
Your passport
for sport.
A young Athlete plays for a school, a rugby club and a football club, and none of them talk to each other. Their record does. Not because we pass it around, but because they own it.
The head knock nobody passed on
She takes a bang to the head in a PE lesson on Thursday. School logs it. Nobody rings the rugby club, because nobody ever does.
Saturday morning, her rugby coach opens the squad and it is there.
The return-to-play protocol gets followed, because the person who needed to know, knew.
The week that was too much
Sports day Tuesday. Two rugby games Wednesday and Saturday. Two training sessions in between. Each coach sees only their own bit, so each thinks it was a normal week.
Together it is not a normal week.
Her coaches can see the load, so somebody pulls the intensity down before something tears.
It starts at a club and it carries: school, county, amateur, professional. Same record, wherever they go next.
