This week in class one of the things we talked about brain injuries and concussions. A lot of what was talked about was concussion problems with athletes and adults and how serious of a problem it is in sports. It always surprised me how little concussion symptoms in child athletes and sports we not talked about as much. This article is about how a big an issue concussions are for child athletes. The article states that, "about 144,000 people aged 18 and younger are treated every year in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for concussions." That is a lot of children a year being treated for concussions for it not to be talked about as much.
