Struggles in Sports

  To some people the only struggle on a football team would obviously be losing the games. But do people ever look at the other struggles of the sport. This other struggle is known as concussion and can do alot more damage then a lose.

  The article that I chose was, Helmets and Mouthguards Dont Prevent Concussions, by Alexandra Sifferlin. This article illistrates a common struggle of a football player. It puts into words how that even the things that we love, have there consequences.
  The "C" word is a big word among football players, it means Concussion. Concussions seem to be taking over the sport of football. They are caused by high impact hits to the head, and have completely changed the way football is played today. Concussions is a relatively new topic of decussion but thanks to new technology, we know more about them then we ever have. But that doesnt mean that everyone including coaches and players have a full understanding. Concussions have many sytoms alot of them being very serious, which is why they should be taken very seriously and with extreme percaution. If a second or third concussion take place after the first there can be serious brain damage, this it why players and coaches must have a full understanding.
  Another aspect of the article was the role that the gear plays in the sport. Studies have shown that the helmet and mouthguard give false sense of sercurity and tend to not do much against concussions.
