We know football players get 1,000 to 1,500 sub-concussive hits per season, even in high school
The Impact of Concussion in the participation in contact sports over last ten years is something that at the forefront of the minds of players, parents, and coaches alike. This subject has caused us to rethink how the game is played, how those that are injured are cared for and how to address the health concerns of past player. There is no doubt that the past approaches that emphasize “no pain no gain”, “you got your bell rung” or “its just a stinger, now play through it”, are no longer acceptable. Be proactive, seek treatment early.
