Sports Concussions

Sports concussions, from Pop Warner all the way through the NFL and professional sports, are a hot button issue right now because they’re becoming not just more and more common, but we’re seeing them more and more. And, that the concussions are being identified.

As this is happening, different leagues – especially in football, but also in soccer and basketball – are coming up with concussion protocols for not only keeping concussions out of the game, but addressing concussions once they happen. A lot of studies show that it’s not the first concussion that has the extremely long-lasting effects; it’s routine blows to the head that do this.

So, with these new league rules and school rules, it’s important that if your kids are playing sports, from Little League all the way through high school and college, you make sure that the coaches and the athletic departments are following these rules, that there’s trainers at practices and games to address and identify concussions as they happen.
