Concussions

Concussions are a huge thing in sports with a lot of contact, a concussion is a brain injury caused by a violent blow or sudden impact to the head by an object. Concussions can cause confusion and drowsiness and sometimes even memory loss. They are very serious things that need to be controlled and watched if you've had them. Studies have shown that when people get multiple serious concussions have brain issues when older or if they just have a bad enough concussion you can have permanent brain damage.

 I think it is very important for kids playing football need to keep track of there concussions and how they are tacking because you do not want to lead with your helmet and spear someone and get hurt. In the long run it is not worth it this your brain the most important thing in your body the thing that causes you to live and function on a daily basis.

In recent years a lot of rules have been put into place on hitting and playing with concussions, such as it is a penalty and fine in the NFL to lead with your head. Many football apparel companies have began to manufacture new helmets with gel and other protective things to help protect your head when following to the ground or getting hit in the head. Another thing is is if you get so many concussions playing your sport doctors and the sport association most likely will not allow you to play the sport. It has become seen as a very huge problem in recent brain studies and retired NFL players now facing brain damage due to there actions in the past.
