According to them two out of every three soccer injuries are from brain injuries classified as concussions. This is not surprising because when an athlete gets ready to head a ball, the impact speed of the ball is coming towards them up to seventy miles per hour. But heading the ball isn’t the only way to get a concussion. A competitor can also receive a concussion from player to player contact, falling, and even just being unaware of their surroundings. When a player gets a concussion they may have headaches, loss of memory and confusion according to Mayo Clinic. However there can be more serious effects such as permanent, traumatic brain damage that can some rare cases can be fatal.

A concussion is a blow to the brain that causes temporary confusion and unconsciousness. A concussion is very common when playing football, especially in high school. Many high schools can’t afford the necessary equipment used to protect their students from concussions (“Carroll County Times”). They do, however, teach their players to play safely. They teach their players to not use their head to try to make tackles or to block a defensive or offensive player. They are aware of the situations that occur in high school football and try to prevent that from happening. Major shots to the head also cause many mental illnesses that can affect a human’s life forever. These mental illnesses include Alzheimer's and dementia. These diseases are terrible to have. You may wake up one day and not know your father’s name. As proof that it doesn’t happen often, the NFL contacted former NFL players. Of the “1,070 who were contacted, 56 reported that they suffered from dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other memory-related issues” (“Is Pro Football too Dangerous”).One of football’s major problems, especially in younger leagues, is heat related problems. People pass out in football because they are dehydrated. Dehydration happens if they are in the sun too long without water. As a solution of these problems, coaches bring big jugs full of water into the game so players can come and hydrate when they are on the bench. Also, the coaches tell their players to hydrate before the game so they won’t feel sick during the game. Most people who don’t get hurt in the head will more than likely get hurt in other areas of their

Football is often labeled as a dangerous, unsafe sport, but there are many good things that come along with playing football. In the past two weeks I have learned about the risks that accompany football. Many kids suffer with concussions and face injuries from the sport, which scares many people away.

Many people that play sports get into some type of injury, the majority of injuries sustained in sports are usually head related. Football has about 118,886 injuries, basketball with 119,589 injuries, and rugby with 1,214 injuries between the years of 2002-20014 and has continued to skyrocket. There are difference between head injuries in football than when playing other sports. These differences can be from minor, moderate, to sever. Football is more on the sever side because of the impact and number of hits they are taking. On the other hand sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis are not as of aggressive as football. And this is due to the lack of contact in the sports. These sports are very strict about the contact when playing in a game, they are charged with a penalty or flagged if a player makes the slightest contact with another player. Therefore you would rarely see a head injury let alone a sever head injury when playing those kind of sports. With football being more aggressive and more contact, the head injuries can lead to a player being hospitalized, and depending on the impact on the blow can lead to death.
