CONCUSSION
Every parent of a young athlete should
know the facts about head injuries
BY EMILY FROST
In this day and age, it's nearly impossible to think
about sports and not think about concussions, too.
Between frequent news coverage, online information,
even movies, concussions are a topic of interest.
However, despite the growing attention and information
about concussions, the number of concussions continues to rise.
In fact, it's estimated that every year there are 300,000 sportsrelated concussions. According to an article in the Journal of
Athletic Training, sports are second only to car accidents
in causing traumatic brain injuries in young adults ages
15 to 24.
Because concussions have become a fact of life
for many athletes, it's more important than ever to
prioritize concussion safety and care among athletes of
all ages.
