However, it is also important to note that a concussion can also take place outside of sports, meaning it can happen to anybody. For instance, there have been incidents where a person tripped while running, fell, and the impact of their head’s contact with the ground caused a concussion. Or, in a car accident many front-seat passengers, or even the driver, have slammed their heads against the dashboard/steering wheel, also possibly resulting in a concussion. Concussions when treated can be healed in a timely manner. Unfortunately, throughout history, there has been a tendency for people to overlook a concussion as a serious injury, therefore, making it more problematic than it already is.

But the game has stood the test of time, surviving up until one of its biggest reforms came in the form of a governmental reform by the president of a young and thriving United States.

Normally when people think about a concussion they don’t take it as serious as they probably should, and don’t realize how many different ways you can get one. Parents have a tendency to get so caught up in watching their kids play on those Friday nights that they don’t usually pay attention to their child’s health and well being.

If being hit and slammed onto the ground many times on your head in painful ways, then playing sports may not be your cup of tea, however for many kids it is just what they like.

Concussions an injury that can go unnoticed, an injury that can last for weeks even for months once you have it getting another one is almost inevitable.
Some people believe that the only way you can get a concussion is if you’re unconscious. Studies have shown that less than 10% of concussions that happen through all sports results of loss of consciousness. Some coaches and parents want the athletes to tough it out but not knowing that there are a lot of long term affect that you can suffer from in your adult life.

According to a research report from Loehrke, a young athlete suffers a sports related injury that is severe enough to go to the emergency room approximately every 25 seconds, or 1.35 million times a year. The most prominent of these injuries were concussions, which accounted for 163,670, or 12 percent of the total 1.35 million injuries (Loehrke). Dr. Alexander K. Powers, a pediatric neurosurgeon at Wake Forest Baptist Health in North Carolina, found that most children who suffer concussions recover, but the prognosis for children who suffer recurring concussions is unknown. Recurring concussions could lead to several disabilities later in life, such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer 's disease, epilepsy, and many other neurological disorders that would require a substantial amount of surgery to cure, if they could even be cured at all (Powers). Putting a child at risk to suffer injuries, such as the ones listed above, is one of the main reasons why the amount of children participating in competitive sports has been dropping
